N.Y. General City Law § 3: Members of common council; appointments to other city offices

§ 3. Members of common council; appointments to other city offices. No

member of the common council of any city shall, during the period for

which they were elected, be capable of holding under the appointment or

election of the common council any office the emoluments of which are

paid from the city treasury, or paid by fees or compensation directed to

be paid by any act or ordinance of the common council, but this section

shall not affect the right to any fees or emoluments belonging to any

office, provided, however, that in any city having a city manager or

council-manager form of government in which a mayor and vice-mayor may

be elected or appointed from the membership of its council, such mayor

and vice-mayor may, in addition to the emoluments received as council

member, receive compensation for their services from the city treasury

as mayor and vice-mayor. An officer of any city who violates any

provision of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on

conviction thereof their office shall be vacant.
