[Adopted 2-19-2019 by L.L. No. 1-2019]
In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village of Hamilton, as codified by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 174, together with an Appendix, and as adopted by L.L. No. 1- 1992, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Hamilton," 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 Hamilton" 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 1992 Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of local laws, ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment and revision 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 Hamilton, 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.
A. 
In compiling and preparing the 1992 Code and subsequent local laws, ordinances and resolutions for publication as the 2018 Code of the Village of Hamilton, no changes in the meaning or intent of such local laws, ordinances and resolutions have been made, except as provided for in Subsection B 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.
B. 
In addition, the amendments and/or additions as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof are made herewith, to become effective upon the effective date of this local law.[1]
