BILL NUMBER:S7483

Title of bill

An act to amend the town law and the public officers law, in relation to authorizing the comptroller in the town of Hyde Park, county of Dutchess, to reside outside such town

Purpose

To amend the town law and the public officers law, in relation to authorizing the comptroller in the town of Hyde Park, county of Dutchess, to reside outside such town.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 amends Section 23 of the town law to provide that the person performing the function of comptroller in the town of Hyde Park need not be a resident of the town.

Section 2 amends Section 3 of the public officers law to provide that the town comptroller of the town of Hyde Park need not be a resident of the town, provided that such person resides in the county in which such town is located or an adjoining county within the state of New York.

Section 3 sets forth an effective date.

Justification

The position of town comptroller requires a set of unique skills and specialized experience. As a result, it has been difficult for the town of Hyde Park to recruit qualified individuals who maintain this skill set within the jurisdictional boundaries.

This legislation would enable the town of Hyde Park to hire a town comptroller who possesses the skills and experience necessary to carry out the duties of this position. Allowing the town of Hyde Park to choose a qualified individual from a broader pool of candidates, without the limitation of a residency requirement, serves to benefit the residents and taxpayers of Hyde Park.
