[Adopted 2-10-2003 by L.L. No. 1-2003]
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.
[Amended 3-10-2008 by L.L. No. 2-2008]

at the time of such appointment. No person shall be eligible to be
