This local law shall be known as an "Amendment to the Code of Ethics of the Town
of Mamaroneck" Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1 Purpose:
The Town of Mamaroneck has many outstanding employees, consultants and
volunteers who ably serve on authorities, boards, commissions and committees of
the Town. Currently the Code of Ethics prevents many of these persons from
appearing before authorities, boards, commissions and committees of the Town for
two years after leaving the Town's service. The Town Board considers a two year
prohibition to be longer than necessary. This local law reduces that period to one
year-a period which the Town Board considers to be appropriate for the purpose of
preserving the high ethical standards of Town government.
Section 2 -Amendment to an existing section of the Mamaroneck Code:
A. Section 17-511 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by
deleting the second sentence thereof and substituting the following sentence in its
place:
"Employees in sensitive positions may not appear before any authority,board,
commission or committee of the Town or the Justice Court of the Town on behalf of
anyone, other than the employee himselVherself or a member of that employee's
family, during the first twelve months after the employee no longer holds a sensitive
position with the Town."
Section 3 Severabili ty:
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.
