[Amended 1-30-2006 by L.L. No. 2-2006]
The provisions of §§ 20 and 23
of the Town Law and § 3 of the Public Officers Law and any
other provisional law requiring a person to be a resident of a political
subdivision or a municipal corporation of the state for which he or
she shall be chosen or within his or her official functions are required
to be exercised are waived to the extent that such provision shall
not prevent a person duly licensed as an attorney at law in the State
of New York from holding office as Deputy Town Attorney, provided
that said person is a resident of the County of Dutchess or maintains
an office for the practice of law within the County of Dutchess and
so long as all other qualifications contained in §§ 20
and 23 of the Town Law and § 3 of the Public Officers Law
are satisfied by the appointee of such office. This amendment is pursuant
to Municipal Home Rule Law § 10, Subdivision 1(ii)d(3);
1(ii)a(12) and 1(ii)a(14) and does supersede the provisions of §§ 20
and 23 of the Town Law and § 3 of the Public Officers Law
and any other law inconsistent with the provisions hereof.
The Deputy Town Attorney shall be compensated
by a fixed salary.
