[Adopted 6-12-2002 by L.L. No. 1-2002]
This article may be known and shall be cited
as "A Local Law to Establish the Residency Requirements for the Appointed
Office of Town Constable."
This article is adopted pursuant to Municipal
Home Rule Law § 10[1][11][a][1] that grants to local governments
the authority to enact local laws regarding the qualifications of
local officers. Furthermore, this article recognizes that the State
Legislature amended Public Officers Law § 3, adding a new
Subdivision (24) expanding the residency requirements for any appointed
public office in the Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County, thereby
rendering Public Officers Law a special law with respect to any appointed
Town officer. (See cf N.Y.Op Atty. Gen. (inf) No. 91-37.)
This article shall supersede Town Law § 23(1)
in its application to the office of Town Constable in the Town of
Holland.
The person holding the office of Town Constable
in the Town of Holland need not be a resident nor an elector of the
Town of Holland; provided, however, that such person shall reside
in the Holland Central School District.
