[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the
Town of Sullivan 7-16-1997 by L.L. No. 1-1997. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
In order to permit the Town of Sullivan to secure
qualified personnel to enforce and administer the New York State Uniform
Fire Prevention and Building Code, as well as the land use regulations
and other local laws of the Town of Sullivan, it is deemed advantageous
by the Town Board of the Town of Sullivan to supersede the requirement
contained in the Town Law § 23 and Public Officers Law §§ 3
and 30 that the Town of Sullivan Building Administrative Officer,
Zoning Administrative Officer, Fire Administrative Officer, and Zoning
Enforcement Officer be a resident of the Town of Sullivan.
Section 23 of the Town Law and §§ 3
and 30 of the Public Officers Law are hereby amended and superseded
in their application to the Town of Sullivan to provide that the hereinafter
enumerated Building, Fire and Zoning Officers of the Town of Sullivan
at the time of their appointment and throughout their terms of office,
need not be an elector or resident of the Town of Sullivan so long
as they are residents of the State of New York. A new sentence is
hereby inserted at the end of § 23 of the Town Law and at
the end of §§ 3 and 30 of the Public Officers Law,
as those statutes apply to the Town of Sullivan, to read and provide
as follows:
"The Town Building Administrator of the Town of Sullivan, by
whatever title he may be given and referred to, the Zoning Administrative
Officer, Fire Administrative Officer, and Zoning Enforcement Officer,
at the time of his appointment and throughout his term of office need
not be an elector or resident of the Town of Sullivan so long as he
is a resident of the State of New York."
