Pursuant to Town Law § 27, entitled
"Compensation of town officers and employees," it is hereby established
that the Town Clerk is permitted to employ not more than three deputies,
each of whom will be paid an hourly compensation to be determined
by the Town Board. When determined by the Town Clerk, one deputy will
have the authority to act for and in place of the Town Clerk in her
absence.

A.
During the
time period that the Office of Town Clerk is vacant and the appointed
Deputy Town Clerk is performing the duties and discharging the responsibilities
of the Office of Town Clerk, the Deputy Town Clerk of the Town of
Woodbury shall be paid the salary set for the Office of the Town Clerk
in that year’s adopted Town Budget, on a per diem basis. Such
compensation shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any other
compensation she or he may receive as a Town officer or employee.
This subsection shall not apply in instances where the Deputy Town
Clerk is performing the duties of the Town Clerk on an intermittent
or short-term basis, due to the Town Clerk’s vacation, temporary
absence or illness. When required to perform such intermittent or
temporary duties, the Deputy Town Clerk shall be compensated by a
supplementary stipend, set by the Town Board, which shall be in addition
to any other compensation he or she may receive as a Town officer
or employee.
B.
Alternatively, in instances where the Deputy Town Clerk is discharging the responsibilities of the Office of Town Clerk during a vacancy in office and § 50-2A would result in the salary of the Deputy Town Clerk being reduced, then the Deputy Town Clerk shall continue to receive the salary of the office of Deputy Town Clerk.
