In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws and ordinances of the Village of North Syracuse, as codified by general Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of Chapters
1 through
240, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of North Syracuse," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws and ordinances contained in the "Code of the Village of North Syracuse" to any other local law or ordinance 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 or ordinance had been formally amended to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of local laws and ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment of the code by this local law are intended as a continuation of such local laws and ordinances and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior local law or ordinance. 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 North Syracuse, and it is the intention of the Board that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in the Code. Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §
1-5 below.
All local laws and ordinances of a general and permanent nature of the

law and not contained in such Code or recognized and continued in force by
reference therein are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of
this local law.
The repeal of local laws and ordinances provided for §
1-5 of this local law shall not affect the following classes of local laws, ordinances, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:

the effective date of this local law or any action or proceeding brought for

or through supplementation shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder
thereof but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph,

in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office
of the Village Clerk of the Village of North Syracuse and shall remain there
for use and examination by the public until final action is taken on this
local law; and if, this local law shall be adopted, such copy shall be certified
by the Village Clerk of the Village of North Syracuse by impressing thereof
the Seal of the Village of North Syracuse, and such certified copy shall remain
on file in the office of said Village Clerk to be made available to persons
desiring to examine the same during all times while said Code is in effect.
The enactment and publication of this local law, coupled with the availability
of a copy of the Code for inspection by the public, shall be deemed, held
and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions of the Code
for all purposes.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to any of
the local laws and ordinances known collectively as the "Code of the Village

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

changes in the Code and all local laws adopted by the Board of Trustees subsequent
to the enactment of this local law in such form as to indicate the intention
of said Board to be a part of the Code shall, when finally enacted or adopted,
be included therein by temporary attachment of copies of such changes, local
laws until such changes or local laws are printed as supplements to the Code
book, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the Code, or any chapter or portion of it, may be purchased
from the Village Clerk, or an authorized agent of the Clerk, upon the payment
of a fee to be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees. The Clerk may also
arrange for procedures for the periodic supplementation of the Code.
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 North Syracuse or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner
whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Village of North Syracuse
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
