[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Hamilton 5-8-2007 by L.L. No. 3-2007. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
This chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority
of § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law which authorizes
villages to adopt a local law which amends or supersedes any provisions
of the Village Law in relation to the property, affairs or government
of the Village or in relation to any of the other enumerated subject
matters in such § 10, unless there is a state legislative
restriction on such amendment or supersession.
In order to permit the Village of Hamilton to
secure qualified personnel to administer the duties of Inspectors
of Election of the Village of Hamilton, it is deemed advantageous
by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hamilton to enact a local
law superseding the requirement contained in § 15-116 of
the Election Law, § 3-300 of the Village Law and §§ 3
and 30 of the Public Officers Law that the Inspectors of Election
of the Village of Hamilton be residents of the Village of Hamilton.
Section 15-116 of the Election Law, § 3-300
of the Village Law and §§ 3 and 30 of the Public Officers
Law are hereby amended and superseded in their application to the
Village of Hamilton to provide that the Inspectors of Election of
the Village of Hamilton at the time of his/her appointment and throughout
his/her term of office, need not be an elector or resident of the
Village of Hamilton so long as he/she is a resident of the Town of
Hamilton. A new sentence is hereby inserted at the end of § 15-116
of the Election Law, at the end of § 3-300 of the Village
Law and at the end of §§ 3 and 30 of the Public Officers
Law, as those statutes apply to the Village of Hamilton, to read and
provide as follows: "The Inspectors of Election of the Village of
Hamilton, at the time of his/her appointment and throughout his/her
term of office, need not be an elector or resident of the Village
of Hamilton so long as he/she is a resident of the Town of Hamilton."

of Hamilton so long as he/she/they is/are a resident of the County

is hereby inserted at the end of § 3-300 of the Village Law and

those statutes apply to the Village of Hamilton, to read and provide
as follows: "The Village Administrator, Village Treasurer, Village
