Mount Vernon Exposed would like to inform the public that an investigation is currently under way into the judicial appointment of Mount Vernon City Associate Adam Seiden. Thousands of cases presided on by Seiden through the years may be vacated and adjudicated.
According to the Mount Vernon City Charter, the document that serves as the guide as to how the City is ran on a day to day provides specifically on how long the terms are for elected and appointed officials. The Mayor appoints the Associate Judge for the City of Mount Vernon, and the City Charter mandates that the term of the Associate Judge be two (2) years.
Mayor Ernie Davis appointed Judge Seiden to the bench in 1995. Many say that this appointment was political in nature and payback for services Seiden provided during his tenure as a Mount Vernon School Board Trustee. We will explore the facts surrounding Seiden’s judicial appointment at a later time.
Chapter C. CHARTER
Article IV. Officers and Elections
§ 14. Appointive officers.
[Amended by L.L. No. 1-1928; L.L. No. 1-1958; L.L. No. 4-
1961; L.L. No. 54-1961; L.L. No. 6-1968; L.L. No. 10-1968;
L.L. No. 10-1969; L.L. No. 5-1972; L.L. No. 7-1985] There shall
be appointed by the Mayor, to hold office during his pleasure, a
Commissioner of Public Works, a Fire Commissioner, a
Commissioner of Buildings, a Commissioner of Public Safety, a
Corporation Counsel and as many Commissioners of Deeds as may
be authorized by ordinance of the City Council. There shall also be
appointed by the Mayor a Commissioner of Assessment and
Taxation who shall hold office for a term of six years pursuant to
§ 1522 of the Real Property Tax Law. Editor's Note: Section 1522 of
the Real Property Tax Law was repealed by L. 1984, c. 472, § 7,
effective 7-7-1984; L. 1986, c. 361, § 1, effective 7-7-1986. All matters
relating to the qualifications, term of office, appointment and
removal of the Commissioner of Assessment and Taxation shall be
in accordance with § 1522 of the Real Property Tax Law. The term
of office of the Commissioner of Assessment and Taxation shall
commence on the first day of October 1971 and each sixth year
thereafter. There shall also be appointed by the Mayor an
Associate City Judge, who shall hold office for a term of two
years. The term of office of the Associate City Judge shall
commence on January 1, 1962, and thereafter on January 1 each
succeeding two years. The Commissioner of Public Safety shall be
a resident of the City of Mount Vernon and shall give his whole
time to his duties and shall not accept any additional place of
public trust or civil emolument.
The ethically challenged Seiden was caught on tape calling people living on the South of Mount Vernon “animals”. Very soon these “animals” will have their sentences vacated and will hopefully get the chance to have a new case heard before a Judge legally authorized to hear the case.
It is unclear why City officials chose to ignore the City Charter, which clearly would take precedence over any State law as the local city law is more restrictive than the State law.
Community activist Samuel L. Rivers has asked the City of Mount Vernon Corporation Counsel for an opinion. “City officials must adhere and follow the charter. Judge Seiden must be immediately removed from the bench or documentation must be provided to the public of a referendum passed by voters authorizing the increase of the Associate Judge term from 2 years to 6 years”, said Rivers.
Mayor Ernest Davis that began on January 1, 2013 until December 31, 2018 recently appointed Judge Seiden.
