The Board of Trustees of the Village of Plandome
Manor, recognizing that there may well exist a difficulty in securing
the best person for a particular appointive Village office if the
person eligible to serve is restricted to Village residents and acting
under the authority granted by § 3-300, Subdivision 2 of
the Village Law of the State of New York, has determined that any
appointed Village official need not reside within the Village of Plandome
Manor but must reside within the County of Nassau or an abutting or
adjacent county.
Any appointed Village official of the Village
of Plandome Manor shall be a resident of the County of Nassau or an
abutting or adjacent county.
[Adopted 7-20-2021 by L.L. No. 1-2021]
This article is enacted pursuant to and consistent with the
authority provided under § 3-301 of the Village Law of the
State of New York and Articles 2 and 3 of the Municipal Home Rule
Law.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Plandome Manor has determined
that it has been difficult to find Village residents that are willing
to serve as the Village Justice to preside over local traffic, criminal
and building and zoning matters. To address this concern, the Board
of Trustees resolved to amend the residency requirements of New York
State Village Law.
As set forth in Village Law § 3-301(2)(a), the Village
of Plandome Manor shall have one elected Village Justice. The Mayor
shall appoint, subject to Board approval, a person to act as Acting
Village Justice in the absence or inability of the elected Village
Justice.
The office of Village Justice shall be filled at election for
a four-year term in accordance with § 3-302, Subdivision
3, of the Village Law. The Acting Village Justice position shall be
appointed at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees following
the yearly Village elections and be for a term of office of one year.
All Village Justices for the Village of Plandome Manor shall
be required to meet all eligibility requirements of § 3-300
of the Village Law, the Election Law, the Uniform Justice Court Act,
rules of the Office of Court Administration, the Public Officers Law,
Chapter 119 of the Laws of 2010, and any other law, rule or regulation
of the State of New York pertaining to the office. The Village Justice
of the Village of Plandome Manor shall be resident of Nassau County.
Compensation for the Village Justice and Acting Village Justice
shall be established from time to time by the Board of Trustees of
the Village of Plandome Manor during its budget process.
