The Board of Trustees finds that, due to the relatively small population of the Village of Bronxville, it is not always possible to fill certain appointive offices and 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 said offices pursuant to § 3-300 of the Village Law. The Board further finds that it is authorized under said § 3-300 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 offices.
