This local law shall be known as the "Amendment to the Definition of"Sensitive
Position" in 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 Board is considering legislation that would create the position of
alternate member for both the Planning Board and the Board of Appeals. The
Town's current definition of"Sensitive Position" in the Code of Ethics includes
the regular members of these boards. Hence if the legislation creating the
position of alternate members for those boards is enacted, those positions
should also be included within the definition of"Sensitive Position". That is
what this legislation does.
In addition, this local law adds two other job titles ----the Director of Building
Code Enforcement and Land Use Administration and the Assistant to the Town
Administrator ----to the definition of"Sensitive Position".
Section 2 -Amendment to the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck:
Section 17-4 of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby is amended by
deleting the definition of SENSITIVE POSITION contained therein and
substituting a new definition of SENSITIVE POSITION which reads as follows:
SENSITIVE POSITION -- The following positions entail potential conflicts of
interest and are deemed to be sensitive positions: Supervisor, Deputy
Supervisor, member of the Town Board, Town Clerk, Deputy Town Clerk, Town
Justice, Town Administrator, Assistant to the Town Administrator, Counsel to the
Town, Town Prosecutor, Superintendent of Highways, Superintendent of
Recreation, Director of Building Code Enforcement and Land Use Administration,
Building Inspector, Assistant Building Inspector, Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief(s),
Fire Inspector, Police Chief, Comptroller, Deputy Comptroller, Director of Public
Housing, Public Housing Administrator, Town Engineer or Consulting Engineer,
Senior Engineering Aide, Assessor, member of the Board of Assessment Review,
Real Property Appraiser, General Foreman, member of the Planning Board,
member of the Board of Appeals, alternate member of the Planning Board and
alternate member of the Board of Appeals. In the event that a new position is
created at a later date which the Town Administrator deems to be sensitive, then
such position shall be added to this list upon the adoption of a resolution by the
Town Board.
Section 3 - 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 4 - Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
