Notwithstanding anything contained in this article
nor existing Village practice or other resolution, the Village shall
henceforth contribute no more than 90% of the premium cost of individual
and/or family health insurance coverage provided to said Village employees
hereafter hired, pursuant to the terms of the New York State Government
Employees Health Insurance Program or such other health insurance

[Added 1-19-2010 by L.L. No. 1-2010]
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Village Code nor any
resolutions of the Board of Trustees nor existing Village practice,
no elected official or part-time (meaning less than 21 hours per week)
or temporary or seasonal employee of the Incorporated Village of Northport
shall be eligible to receive health insurance benefits under a Village
health insurance policy whether paid for by the Village as compensation
or paid for by the elected official or the employee. Furthermore,
no such persons shall be eligible to receive any contributions from
the Village towards retirement health insurance benefits. This latter
prohibition is intended to apply to all prior, current and future
persons in the stated positions. It is intended that this prohibition
shall apply to all elected officials, which are the Mayor, Trustees
and the Village Justice and to current part-time and temporary employees
and shall become effective immediately, except as to the office of
Village Justice in which case this prohibition shall become effective
on April 1, 2010, being and intended to be after the current term
of office for the Village Justice has ended. This prohibition is not
intended to affect entitlement to COBRA benefits as provided for in
federal or state law. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the prohibition
on the receipt of health insurance benefits shall not apply to any
person in any of the above-described positions who currently receives
health insurance benefits, which benefits shall continue until such
person is no longer in office and/or is no longer employed by the
Incorporated Village of Northport, in which case the prohibition on
receipt of health insurance benefits shall apply to any new person
assuming the position. This limited exception, however, does not affect
the prohibition on contributions by the Incorporated Village of Northport
towards retirement health insurance benefits, which shall be fully
applicable to any such employee covered by this exception. Furthermore,
the prohibitions contained herein shall not affect contractual rights
secured by a duly approved collective bargaining agreement.
[Added 1-19-2010 by L.L. No. 1-2010]
The Village Clerk, the Deputy Clerk, the Treasurer and the Deputy
Treasurer have never been authorized to receive compensatory time
or overtime unless specifically authorized by a resolution of the
Board of Trustees adopted at a lawfully convened meeting. These officials
are prohibited from receiving compensatory time and overtime unless
approved by resolution of the Board of Trustees adopted at a lawfully
convened meeting. No other Village employee is eligible to receive
compensatory time or overtime unless approved by resolution of the
Board of Trustees at a lawfully convened meeting. Such approval may
be for a specific employee or it may be in the form of approval of
a collective bargaining agreement pursuant to which covered employees
are entitled to receive compensatory and/or overtime. As to the employees
who are union members, the terms of the approved collective bargaining
agreement shall determine their eligibility for compensatory time
and overtime.
