law that no person shall be eligible for appointment to a Village

Building Inspector, Assistant Building Inspector, Code Enforcement
Officer, Fire Inspector, Court Clerk, or Assistant Court Clerk, who

of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck is authorized under § 10(1)(ii)(a)(1)

the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck hereby provides

Assistant Building Inspector, Code Enforcement Officer, Fire Inspector,
Court Clerk, and Assistant Court Clerk may reside anywhere within
