Notwithstanding anything contained in the Village Code nor any resolutions of the Board of Trustees nor existing Village practice, no elected official or part-time (meaning less than 21 hours per week) or temporary or seasonal employee of the Incorporated Village of Northport shall be eligible to receive health insurance benefits under a Village health insurance policy whether paid for by the Village as compensation or paid for by the elected official or the employee. Furthermore, no such persons shall be eligible to receive any contributions from the Village towards retirement health insurance benefits. This latter prohibition is intended to apply to all prior, current and future persons in the stated positions. It is intended that this prohibition shall apply to all elected officials, which are the Mayor, Trustees and the Village Justice and to current part-time and temporary employees and shall become effective immediately, except as to the office of Village Justice in which case this prohibition shall become effective on April 1, 2010, being and intended to be after the current term of office for the Village Justice has ended. This prohibition is not intended to affect entitlement to COBRA benefits as provided for in federal or state law. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the prohibition on the receipt of health insurance benefits shall not apply to any person in any of the above-described positions who currently receives health insurance benefits, which benefits shall continue until such person is no longer in office and/or is no longer employed by the Incorporated Village of Northport, in which case the prohibition on receipt of health insurance benefits shall apply to any new person assuming the position. This limited exception, however, does not affect the prohibition on contributions by the Incorporated Village of Northport towards retirement health insurance benefits, which shall be fully applicable to any such employee covered by this exception. Furthermore, the prohibitions contained herein shall not affect contractual rights secured by a duly approved collective bargaining agreement.
[Added 1-19-2010 by L.L. No. 1-2010]
The Village Clerk, the Deputy Clerk, the Treasurer and the Deputy Treasurer have never been authorized to receive compensatory time or overtime unless specifically authorized by a resolution of the Board of Trustees adopted at a lawfully convened meeting. These officials are prohibited from receiving compensatory time and overtime unless approved by resolution of the Board of Trustees adopted at a lawfully convened meeting. No other Village employee is eligible to receive compensatory time or overtime unless approved by resolution of the Board of Trustees at a lawfully convened meeting. Such approval may be for a specific employee or it may be in the form of approval of a collective bargaining agreement pursuant to which covered employees are entitled to receive compensatory and/or overtime. As to the employees who are union members, the terms of the approved collective bargaining agreement shall determine their eligibility for compensatory time and overtime.
