In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village of Lattingtown, as codified by General Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of Chapters 1 through 315, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Lattingtown," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions contained in the "Code of the Village of Lattingtown" to any other local law, ordinance or resolution appearing in said Code, such reference shall be changed to the appropriate chapter title, chapter number, article number or section number appearing in the Code as if such local law, ordinance or resolution had been formally amended to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of local laws, ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this local law, are intended as a continuation of such local laws, ordinances and resolutions and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior local law, ordinance or resolution. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Lattingtown, and it is the intention of said Board that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-7 below.
All local laws and ordinances of a general and permanent nature of the

law and not contained in such Code or recognized and continued in force by
reference therein are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of
this local law.

date of this local law in violation of any legislative provision of the Village
of Lattingtown or any penalty, punishment or forfeiture which may result therefrom.

within the Village of Lattingtown or any portion thereof.

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter or part
of this local law or of any local law, ordinance or resolution included in
this Code now or through supplementation shall be adjudged by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair
or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation
to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter or part thereof
directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been
rendered.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office
of the Village Clerk of the Village of Lattingtown and shall remain there
for use and examination by the public until final action is taken on this
local law; and, if this local law shall be adopted, such copy shall be certified
by the Village Clerk of the Village of Lattingtown by impressing thereon the
Seal of the Village of Lattingtown, and such certified copy shall remain on
file in the office of said Village Clerk, to be made available to persons
desiring to examine the same during all times while said Code is in effect.
The enactment and publication of this local law, coupled with the availability
of a copy of the Code for inspection by the public, shall be deemed, held
and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions of the Code
for all purposes.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to any of
the local laws, ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the "Code
of the Village of Lattingtown" or any new local laws or resolutions, when
enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Board
of Trustees to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to be incorporated into
such Code so that reference to the Code shall be understood and intended to
include such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements. Whenever such
additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to the Code shall be enacted
or adopted, they shall thereafter be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted
in the loose-leaf book containing said Code as amendments and supplements
thereto. Nothing contained in this local law shall affect the status of any
local law, ordinance or resolution contained herein, and such local laws,
ordinances or resolutions may be amended, deleted or changed from time to
time as the Board of Trustees deems desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to keep up-to-date the certified
copy of the book containing the Code of the Village of Lattingtown required
to be filed in the office of the Village Clerk for use by the public. All
changes in said Code and all local laws and resolutions adopted by the Board
of Trustees subsequent to the enactment of this local law in such form as
to indicate the intention of said Board to be a part of said Code shall, when
finally enacted or adopted, be included therein by temporary attachment of
copies of such changes, local laws or resolutions until such changes, local
laws or resolutions are printed as supplements to said Code book, at which
time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the Code, or any chapter or portion of it, may be purchased
from the Village Clerk, or an authorized agent of the Clerk, upon the payment
of a fee to be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees. The Clerk may also
arrange for procedures for the periodic supplementation of the Code.
Any person who, without authorization from the Village Clerk, changes
or amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of the
Village of Lattingtown or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner
whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Village of Lattingtown
to be misrepresented thereby or who violates any other provision of this local
law shall be guilty of an offense and shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject
to a fine of not more than $250 or imprisonment for a term of not more than
15 days, or both.
A.
In compiling and preparing the local laws, ordinances and resolutions for publication as the Code of the Village of Lattingtown, no changes in the meaning or intent of such local laws, ordinances and resolutions have been made, except as provided for in Subsections B and C hereof. In addition, certain grammatical changes and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or more of said pieces of legislation. It is the intention of the Board of Trustees that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the local laws, ordinances and resolutions had been previously formally amended to read as such.

of the Village, referred to as the "General Ordinance," are revised to read

in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof are made herewith, to
become effective upon the effective date of this local law. (Chapter and section
