     2  adding a new paragraph (r) to read as follows:
     3    (r)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of any general, special or local
     4  law to the contrary, the town board of the town of Rotterdam, county  of
     5  Schenectady  may  adopt  a  resolution,  at least one hundred fifty days
     6  prior to any biennial election determining that  such  town  shall  have
     7  three  town  justices. If the town board of such town shall have adopted
     8  such a resolution, the electors of such town shall elect at the succeed-
     9  ing biennial election a town justice who shall take office for a term of
    10  four years beginning on the first day of January  next  succeeding  such
    11  biennial  town  election. If the town board of the town of Rotterdam has
    12  adopted such resolution, it may also  adopt  a  resolution  creating  an
    13  immediate  vacancy  in  the  position  of  the third justice, and it may
    14  appoint someone to fill the vacancy to serve until December thirty-first
