[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sylvan
Beach 8-5-2002 by L.L. No. 2-2002. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
A.
As a result of an increased awareness of security issues
in connection with large public gatherings and the need for additional protection
for the public as a result thereof, the Village Board recognizes a need for
additional security at large public gatherings, including but not limited
to special events, due to the large number of persons who attend same.
B.
Local governments are authorized to adopt and amend local
laws that are consistent with the Constitution and general state laws in relation
to the government, protection, order, conduct, safety, health and well-being
of persons or property in the local government [Municipal Home Rule Law § 10(1)(ii)(a)(11)].
C.
A Village may, by local law, authorize the employment
of persons, not having the status of police or peace officers, for crowd and/or
traffic control at large public gatherings, including but not limited to special
events in the Village, and in the interests of the public health, safety and
welfare.
Pursuant to §§ 4-400 and 4-412 of the Village Law, the
Mayor of the Village of Sylvan Beach is hereby authorized to appoint and employ
persons, not having the status of police or peace officers, for crowd and/or
traffic control in the Village of Sylvan Beach during special events.
In any case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict
with a provision of any zoning, building, fire, safety of health local law
or code of the Village of Sylvan Beach existing on the effective date of this
chapter, the provisions which, in the judgment of the Village Board, establish
the higher standard for the promotion of health and safety of the people shall
prevail.
