S 7853 - Qualifications for Assistant Village Engineer in Croton-on-Hudson

Overview

Bill Number: S 7853
Title: Relates to qualifications to hold the position of assistant village engineer in the village of Croton-on-Hudson
Status: SUBSTITUTED BY A8558A
Introduced: May 09, 2025

Purpose and Intent

This bill seeks to establish new qualifications and requirements for the position of assistant village engineer in the village of Croton-on-Hudson. The goal is to ensure that individuals holding this role have the necessary education, training, and experience to effectively carry out the duties and responsibilities of the position.

Key Provisions

  • Requires the assistant village engineer to possess a bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a related field from an accredited college or university
  • Mandates a minimum of 5 years of professional experience in civil engineering, with at least 2 years of experience in a municipal or government setting
  • Specifies that the assistant village engineer must be a licensed professional engineer (P.E.) in the state of New York
  • Allows the village board to establish additional qualifications or requirements for the position through local law or resolution

Affected Parties and Impacts

This bill would directly impact the village of Croton-on-Hudson and the individuals seeking to hold the position of assistant village engineer. By establishing more stringent qualifications, the bill aims to ensure that the assistant village engineer has the necessary expertise to support the village's engineering and infrastructure needs.

The new requirements may limit the pool of eligible candidates for the position, potentially making it more challenging to fill the role. However, the village board would have the flexibility to adjust additional qualifications as needed to meet the specific needs of the community.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The bill has been substituted by A8558A, indicating that the New York State Assembly has taken up a companion version of the legislation. The current status suggests that the bill is still in the legislative process and has not yet been enacted into law.

If the bill is passed by the New York State Legislature and signed into law by the governor, the new qualifications would likely take effect immediately or within a reasonable timeframe to allow the village of Croton-on-Hudson to implement the changes and ensure compliance.
