B.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck may appoint a Village Manager for a term not exceeding four (4) years from the date of such appointment, provided that the person so appointed shall have served the Village of Mamaroneck prior to such appointment for twelve (12) or more months, in any period or periods, as Village Manager or discharged the duties of Village Manager during the absence or inability to serve of a regularly appointed Village Manager.

The Village of Mamaroneck acknowledges the requirement of state law that no person shall be eligible for appointment as Village Manager who is not a Village resident, and it further acknowledges the provision of state law which allows that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck may provide that its Village Manager may reside within the county in which the Village is situated. Accordingly, and in an effort to ensure that the most qualified person may be appointed as Village Manager, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck hereby provides that the Village Manager of the Village of Mamaroneck may reside anywhere within the County of Westchester.
