During the
time period that the Office of Town Supervisor is vacant and the appointed
Deputy Town Supervisor is performing the duties and discharging the
responsibilities of the Office of Town Supervisor, the Deputy Town
Supervisor of the Town of Woodbury shall be paid the salary set for
the Office of the Town Supervisor in that year’s adopted Town
Budget, on a per diem basis. Such compensation shall be in lieu of
and not in addition to any other compensation she or he may receive
as a Town officer or employee. This subsection shall not apply in
instances where the Deputy Town Supervisor is performing the duties
of the Town Supervisor on an intermittent or short-term basis, due
to the Town Supervisor’s vacation, temporary absence or illness.
When required to perform such intermittent or temporary duties, the
Deputy Town Supervisor shall be compensated by a supplementary stipend,
set by the Town Board, which shall be in addition to any other compensation
he or she may receive as a Town officer or employee.
Alternatively, in instances where the Deputy Town Supervisor is discharging the responsibilities of the Office of Deputy Town Supervisor during a vacancy in office and § 50-6A would result in the salary of the Deputy Town Supervisor being reduced, then the Deputy Town Supervisor shall continue to receive the salary of the office to which they are appointed or elected.
