The Board of Trustees find that, due to the relatively small population
of the Village of Larchmont, it is not always possible to fill certain nonjudicial
positions in Village government requiring municipal, administrative or financial
expertise with Village residents who are duly qualified to hold such positions.
The Board further finds that it is authorized to appoint qualified residents
of Westchester County outside of the Village to these positions pursuant to
§ 3-300(2) of the Village Law and § 10 of the Municipal
Home Rule Law to expand such residency requirements to allow residents of
Westchester County to be eligible for appointment to said positions.
Notwithstanding any other general or special law, a person shall be
eligible to be appointed to or hold the nonjudicial position of Village Court
Clerk or Assistant Court Clerk, provided such person is a resident of Westchester
County at the time of such appointment.
This chapter shall apply to all persons currently holding the position
of Village Court Clerk or Assistant Court Clerk, as well as any persons hereafter
appointed to fill such positions.
