[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Southampton 6-22-1999 by L.L. No. 5-1999. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
A.
The Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of
the Town of Southampton (hereinafter referred to as the "Town Trustees")
are empowered to regulate the taking of products (including fish and
other products) from the waters (including land below the waters)
within the Town of Southampton which are under the jurisdiction of
the Town Trustees (hereinafter referred to as "Town Trustee waters"),
including Town Trustee waters situate within the Village of Southampton.
The Rules and Regulations for the Management and Products of the Waters
of the Town of Southampton adopted by the Town Trustees (hereinafter
referred to as the "Town Trustee Rules and Regulations") regulate,
among other things, the taking of products from Town Trustee waters.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide specific authority in the
Village Code for enforcement by the village of certain Town Trustee
Rules and Regulations applicable to Town Trustee waters situate within
the village.
B.
Although the Town Bay Constables are authorized to
enforce the Town Trustee Rules and Regulations relating to the taking
of products from Town Trustee waters situate within the village, the
duties of the Town Bay Constables include enforcement with respect
to Town Trustee waters within the entire Town of Southampton, a large
geographical area containing numerous bodies of water which constitute
Town Trustee waters. The Village Board of Trustees finds that enactment
of this chapter will promote the objectives of certain Town Trustee
Rules and Regulations by providing additional enforcement authority
and assistance with respect to Town Trustee waters situate within
the village. The Village Board of Trustees finds that such additional
enforcement authority and assistance will benefit the inhabitants
of the town, including the inhabitants of the village.
