employment with the Town and at least once every three years thereafter
while employed by the Town.
B.
Each Town employee who has received a copy of the Code of Ethics
shall sign and date a form acknowledging that a copy of the Town Code
of Ethics has been received, read, understood, and that the employee
agrees to be bound by the Code of Ethics. Such forms shall be returned
to the Town employee's supervisor for transmittal to the Town
Clerk within 20 days of the employee's receipt of the Code of
Ethics.
C.
The Town Supervisor and/or his/her designee shall cause a revised
or amended Code of Ethics to be distributed to Town employees whenever
substantial amendments have been made to the Code of Ethics. Town

of Ethics.
D.
The Town Attorney shall cause each person or legal entity signing
a contract with the Town providing for payments in excess of $25,000
to be given a copy of the Code of Ethics and such person or legal
entity subject to this provision shall be required to acknowledge
receipt thereof, in writing, unless the Code of Ethics is referenced
in and attached to the signed contract.
E.
Failure to distribute any such copy of the Code of Ethics or failure
of any Town employee to receive such copy shall have no effect on
the duty of compliance with this Code, nor the enforcement of provisions
hereof. The Town Supervisor shall further cause a copy of this chapter
to be kept posted conspicuously in each public building under the
jurisdiction of the Town. Failure to so post this chapter shall have

the Town Clerk shall file a copy thereof in the office of the State
