This Charter shall become effective on January 1, 1999, upon
approval by public referendum in the manner provided by applicable
law. An Administrative Code may be adopted and amended by local law
at any time subsequent to the approval and adoption of this Charter.
This Charter may be amended in the manner provided by the Municipal
Home Rule Law. At least once every twenty years following the effective
date of January 1, 1999, this Charter shall be reviewed and revised
as deemed necessary pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law.
The performance of functions pursuant to the provisions of this
Charter shall be deemed to constitute a continuation of such functions
for the purpose of succession to all rights, powers, duties and obligations
attached to such functions. Proceedings or other business undertaken
or commenced prior to the effective date of this Charter may be conducted
and completed by the City officer or department responsible for such
proceedings or other business under this Charter.
This Charter shall not be deemed to invalidate any obligations
previously issued by the City or by any of its commissions, boards
or agencies, and such obligations shall be and remain binding obligations
of the City. In the event any obligation shall have been issued in
anticipation of the issuance of bonds by the City or by any of its
commissions, boards or agencies, the City is hereby empowered to issue
such bonds as legal and binding obligations of the City.
If part of any provision of this Charter shall be adjudged by
any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such adjudication
shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of such provision,
but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph,
section or article thereof directly involved in the proceeding in
which such adjudication shall have been rendered.
If any date specified in this Charter falls, in any year, on
a Saturday, Sunday or legal City holiday, then such date shall be
deemed to refer to the next succeeding date which is not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal City holiday.
This Charter shall be submitted to the electors of the City
of Albany at the general election occurring November 3, 1998.
Pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law, this Local Law, enacting
a new Albany City Charter, shall not become operative unless and until
approved by the duly qualified voters of the City of Albany in the
manner prescribed by law at the general election of November 3, 1998.
