A person may not hold the office of Dog Control
Officer for the Town of Riga unless such person is a citizen of the
United States, a resident of the County of Monroe or the County of
Genesee, the State of New York and a town contiguous to the Town of
Riga. However, a person may hold the office of Dog Control Officer
for the Town of Riga whether or not such person is a resident of the
Town of Riga and/or an elector of the Town of Riga. The provision
of this article stating that a person may hold the office of Dog Control
Officer whether or not such person is a resident of the Town of Riga
and/or an elector of the Town of Riga shall supersede the requirement
of local residency set forth in § 3, Subdivision 1, of the
Public Officers Law of the State of New York, and shall also supersede
the requirement of being a local elector set forth in § 23,
Subdivision 1, of the Town Law of the State of New York.
