A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has
been filed in the office of the Village Clerk of the Village of Florida
and shall remain there for use and examination by the public until

of said Village Clerk to be made available to persons desiring to

Any and all additions, deletions, amendments
or supplements to any of the local laws known collectively as the
"Code of the Village of Florida," 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 or resolution contained herein, and such local laws or resolutions
may be amended, deleted or changed from time to time as the Board

to be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees, which may also arrange
by resolution for procedures for the periodic supplementation thereof.
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 Florida, or who alters or
tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the
legislation of the Village of Florida 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.
