Title of bill
An act to amend the public officers law and the village law, in relation to permitting village justices of the village of Sag Harbor to live in the towns of East Hampton or Southampton
Purpose
Permits village justices of the village of Sag Harbor to live in the towns of East Hampton or Southampton.
Summary of provisions
Public Officers Law is amended by adding a new subdivision 57 and Section 3-300 of the village law is amended by adding a new subdivision 19.
JUSTIFICATION Under current law, the Village of Sag harbor has two residency options for village justices. The Village now requires the justice(s) to live either in the Village of Sag Harbor or within Suffolk County. This law presents some geographical issues in that the Village of Sag harbor is only 2 square miles and Suffolk County consists of 1,000 square miles. Accordingly, this presents problems for Sag Harbor Village in that the candidate pool for qualified individuals seeking a position as a Village Justice is either too small or too large. Further, The Village of Sag Harbor is located within the Town of Southampton and the Town of East Hampton.
