BILL NUMBER: S4715

SPONSOR: TEDISCO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public officers law, in relation to qualifications
for holding certain offices in the village of Northville in Fulton Coun-
ty

 
PURPOSE:

This Legislation will create additional penalties and fines for those or
killing an innocent bystander during an attack convicted of injuring on
an elected official.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Section 3 of the public officers law is amended by adding a
new subdivision 71 to read as follows:

71. In the village of Northville, in the county of Fulton, the

Provisions of this section requiring a person to be a resident of.  the
Political subdivision or municipal corporation of the state for which he
or she shall be chosen or within which his or her official functions are
required to be exercised, shall not prevent a person from holding the
office of treasurer, village clerk and code enforcement officer,
provided that such person resides in Fulton county, or in the town of
Edinburg in Saratoga county or the town of Benson in Hamilton county;
provided, however that any person performing such functions or holding
such office in any other village shall be a resident of such village
unless otherwise provided by law.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The Village of Northville in Fulton County currently has flexibility
with hired positions such as Highway Superintendent. With appointed
positions however, they do not have the same flexibility. Their
appointed positions include Treasurer, Village Clerk and Code Enforce-
ment Officer. Northville is uniquely positioned on the border of both
Hamilton and Saratoga Counties.

The impetus for this legislation was the Village's high rate of turnover
at key appointed positions (five code enforcement officers within a
seven-year period). These setbacks are damaging to the stability and
infrastructure of a community.  Furthermore, a high turnover of person-
nel is extremely costly to local governments, particularly at a time
when our localities are facing fiscal challenges due to the COVID 19
pandemic.

This legislation would enable the Mayor of Northville to draw from a
larger pool for appointed positions, while staying within bordering
towns inside the Adirondack Park community.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None noted.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
