This chapter is enacted in the exercise of the authority of
the Board of Trustees pursuant to the New York Village Law to legislate
with respect to the property, affairs, and government of the Village.
The provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to all boards
and agencies of the Village, notwithstanding any rules or policies
previously or hereafter adopted by such boards or agencies. In the
event of any conflict between the rules of any such board or agency
and the provisions of this chapter, or of any rule or policy adopted
by the Board of Trustees, the provisions of this chapter and of any
rule or policy adopted by the Board of Trustees shall prevail. Except
to the extent inconsistent with this chapter, or any rule or policy
adopted by the Board of Trustees, the rules of each board or agency
now in effect shall remain in effect, and may be amended or supplemented
to the extent permitted by law.
The Board of Trustees, acting by resolution, may from time to
time adopt or amend rules for applications and/or amendments to applications
made to, and proceedings of, any Village board or agency. No public
hearing shall be required prior to the adoption of any such rule or
policy, unless the Board of Trustees shall determine that a public
hearing shall be required. In the event the Board of Trustees determines
that such a public hearing is required, notice of such hearing shall
be given by publication in the official newspaper designated for such
purpose, by posting at the Village Hall, and by posting upon the Village
website at least five business days prior to the hearing date. No
additional public notice shall be required for any continued or adjourned
hearing date, provided the continuation or adjournment is noted in
the minutes of the meeting at which the hearing was scheduled to be
held.
