Local Law No. 2 - 2019
This local law shall be known as the “Elimination of Seasonal Employees from the List of
Employees Required to Make the Certification Mandated by the Code of Ethics and the Addition
of the Position of Deputy Town Administrator to the List of Sensitive Positions” Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 – Purpose:
Currently, section 17-6 B. of the Town Code requires each employee to certify annually that he/she
has read the Town’s Code of Ethics and has not knowingly or willfully violated that Code. The
Town hires a number of seasonal employees who work for limited periods of time during the
year. Examples include persons employed to work at the ice rink, the summer camps and the
pool.
The Town Board continues to maintain that it is important for employees who work all year long,
whether in a full or part-time capacity, to make the certification mandated by the Code of Ethics,
but finds it unnecessary for seasonal employees to do so.
This local law exempts seasonal employees from the certification requirement by modifying the
definition of “employee” to include only full-time employees.
The title of Deputy Town Administrator has been created. By this local law, that position is added
to the list of Sensitive Positions in the Code of Ethics.
Section 2 – Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 17-4 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by deleting the definition
of EMPLOYEE and substituting the following definition of EMPLOYEE in its place:
EMPLOYEE
Each officer, volunteer or employee of the Town of Mamaroneck, whether paid or unpaid,
whether elected or appointed, whether serving in a full-time, probationary or permanent part-time
or advisory capacity. Volunteers whose responsibilities do not give rise to possible violations of
these rules shall not be considered "employees" for the purpose of this article. The Town Board
shall determine which volunteers shall be considered "employees" for this purpose.
Section 3 – Amendment of a current section of the Mamaroneck Code:
Section 17-4 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by adding the following
title to the list of Sensitive Positions:
SENSITIVE POSITION
. . .
N. Deputy Town Administrator
and by relettering the existing sections 17-4 N. through and including 17-4 QQ. to sections 17-4 O.
through and including section 17-4 RR.
Section 4 – Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any
other provisions of this Local Law, which may be implemented without the invalid or
unconstitutional provisions.
Section 5 – Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
