This article is enacted to establish a procedure whereby certain appointed
public officers in the Village of Pittsford may be afforded a due process
hearing in the event that a need arises for the appointing authority to pursue
disciplinary charges against such an officer.
A person holding an appointed public office in the Village of Pittsford
may be disciplined by the officer or body having the power of appointment
in accordance with the procedure set forth in Subdivision 2 of § 75
of the Civil Service Law.
No proceeding pursuant to this article shall be commenced more than
two years after an alleged incompetence or misconduct has occurred or has
become known to the appointing authority. This limitation shall not apply
where the alleged incompetency or misconduct would, if proven in a judicial
proceeding, constitute a crime.
The determination rendered by the appointing authority pursuant to this
article shall constitute a final determination of the Village of Pittsford
and may be reviewed upon a petition filed in accordance with the provisions
of Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.
