This article shall be entitled "Local Law of 2003 Establishing Procedures for the Discipline of an Appointed Official of the Village of Poquott."
The purpose and intent of this article is to establish a procedure whereby certain appointed public officers in the Village of Poquott may be afforded a due process hearing in the event a need arises for the Village of Poquott to pursue disciplinary charges against such an officer.
A person holding an appointed public office in the Village of Poquott in the noncompetitive or exempt class of civil service may be disciplined by the officer or body having the power of appointment in accordance with the procedure set forth in subdivision 2 of Section 75 of the Civil Service Law, as it existed on January 1, 1992.
A. 
If an officer is found guilty of disciplinary charges, the penalty to be imposed may consist of either:
(1) 
A reprimand;
(2) 
A suspension without pay for a period not exceeding two months; or
(3) 
A termination from office.
B. 
If the officer is found guilty, he or she shall be provided a copy of the charges, the written answer thereto; a transcript of the hearing, and the determination rendered by the appointing authority.
No proceeding pursuant to this article shall be commenced more than two years after alleged incompetence or misconduct has occurred or has become known to the appointing authority. This limitation shall not apply where the alleged incompetency or misconduct would, if proven in a judicial proceeding, constitute a crime.
The determination rendered by the appointing authority pursuant to this article shall constitute a final determination of the Village of Poquott and may be reviewed upon a petition filed in accordance with the provisions of Article 78 of the Civil Practice Laws and Rules.
