LOCAL LAW NOA OF THE YEAR 2007
A Local Law entitled "Local Law No. 4 of the Year 2007, Establishing the Salary of the
Superintendent of Highways for Calendar Year 2007."
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows:
Section I: Title:
This Local Law shall be known and cited as Town of Wappinger "Local Law No. 4 of the
Year 2007, Establishing the Salary of the Superintendent of Highways for Calendar Year 2007",
which Local Law shall revise the salary of the Superintendent of Highways salary, as set forth
below.
Section II: Legislative Intent:
The Town Board recognizes that the annual salary of the Superintendent of
Highways is not on par with the salaries to Highway Superintendents paid by neighboring
municipalities with road systems of similar or less size than the Town of Wappinger and
with Highway Departments having similar number of employees, duties and responsibilities
as the Town of Wappinger. Accordingly, the Town Board has determined that it is
reasonable and appropriate to increase the salary of the Town's Superintendent of Highways
by the sum of $2,165.00 for Calendar Year 2007.
Section III: Salary Increase:
The annual salary of the Superintendent of Highways of the Town of Wappinger for
the Calendar Year of 2007, is hereby increased by the sum of $2,165.00 from $72,167.00 to
$74,332.00.
Section IV: Separability.
The provisions of this Local Law are separable and if any provision, clause, sentence,
subsection, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid or unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any
person or circumstance, such illegality, invalidity, or unconstitutionality, or inapplicability, shall
not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, subsections, words or
parts of this local law or their application to other persons or circumstances. It is hereby declared
to be the legislative intent of the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger that this Local Law
would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or unconstitutional provision, clause, sentence,
subsection, word or part had not been included therein, and if such person or circumstance to
which the Local Law or part thereof is held inapplicable had been specifically exempt therefrom.
Section V: Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective forty-five (45) days after its adoption, unless a
petition protesting against such Local Law has been filed within 45 days of its adoption, signed
and authenticated as provided by Section 24 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of
New York, by qualified electors of the Town of Wappinger, registered to vote therein at the last
preceding general election in number equal to at least Ten Percent (10%) of the total number of
votes cast for Governor in the last gubernatorial election in the Town of Wappinger. In the event
that a proper petition for referendum has been filed pursuant to Section 24 of the Municipal
Home Rule Law, this Law shall become effective when it has been approved by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the qualified electors of the Town of Wappinger voting on a proposition for
its approval and the Local Law has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of New
