[Adopted 10-20-2022 by L.L. No. 11-2022]
This article is enacted in order to provide conformance with
the term of the Village Justice of the Village of Baldwinsville with
the general elections of the Village of Baldwinsville, which are to
be held in even numbered years. Pursuant to Local Law No. 2 of 2010,
and Village Law § 3-302, Subdivision 5a, the Village provided
that beginning with the general Village election of 2012, general
elections in the Village of Baldwinsville would be held biennially
in even-numbered years. The terms of the Mayor and Trustees which
expired in odd-numbered years were altered in order to provide for
the election of the Mayor and Trustees in the even-numbered years
of general Village elections. The Village Justice of the Village of
Baldwinsville served a four-year term and was elected in 2011. Thereafter,
elections solely for the Village Justice have taken place in odd-numbered
years, 2015, 2019, and will take place in 2023. These elections have
taken place notwithstanding Village Law § 3-302, Subdivision
7b, which provides that where a village has adopted a local law providing
for biennial years, the term of not only the mayor and trustees elected
in an odd year but also the village justice would be reduced to three
years in order to comply with the biennial election. In order for
the term of the Village Justice to coincide with the Village general
election, and comply with the provisions of Village Law § 3-302,
Subdivision 7b, this article will extend the term of office of the
current Village Justice to a single five-year term commencing with
the Village election in 2023, and the Village Justice will be elected
in the general Village election in 2028 and for terms of four years
thereafter.
Pursuant to the provisions of Local Law No. 2 of 2010, electing
a biennial year for general elections of the Village of Baldwinsville,
and the provisions of Village Law § 3-302, Subdivision 7b,
the term of office of the successor to the Village Justice of the
Village of Baldwinsville shall be a single five-year term beginning
with the official year of the Village of Baldwinsville beginning in
2023 and the successor shall thereafter be elected for terms of four
years beginning with the general Village election in 2028.
The invalidity of any provision of this article shall not affect
the validity of any other provision of this article that can be given
effect without such invalid provision.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing in the
Office of the Secretary of State.
