[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Churchville as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 6-27-2022 by L.L. No. 3-2022]
In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws of the Village of Churchville, as codified and consisting of Chapters 1 through 250, are hereby approved, adopted and enacted as the Code of the Village of Churchville, hereinafter referred to as the "Code." The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of local laws in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this local law, are intended as a continuation of such local laws and not as new enactments. This local law and the Code adopted hereby shall supersede and replace the 1984 Code of the Village of Churchville, as amended and supplemented.
A. 
A copy of the Code has been filed in the office of the Village Clerk and shall remain there for use and examination by the public until final action is taken on this local law. Following adoption of this local law such copy shall be certified to by the Clerk of the Village of Churchville by impressing thereon the Seal of the Village, as provided by law, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of the Village Clerk, to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same during all times while said Code is in effect.
B. 
Additions or amendments to the Code, when adopted in such form as to indicate the intent of the Village Board to make them a part thereof, shall be deemed to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the "Code of the Village of Churchville" shall be understood and intended to include such additions and amendments. Nothing contained in this local law shall affect the status of any local law contained in the Code, and such local laws may be amended, deleted or changed from time to time as the Village Board deems desirable.
In the event that notice of enactment of this local law is required due to amendments adopted by way of this local law to zoning or land use provisions, or is otherwise required by law, the Clerk of the Village of Churchville shall cause notice of the enactment of this local law to be given in the manner required by law. The notice of the enactment 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.
Each section of this local law and of the Code and every part of each section is an independent section or part of a section, and the holding of any section or a part thereof to be unconstitutional, void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the validity or constitutionality of any other sections or parts thereof.
Repeal of inconsistent enactments. All local laws of a general and permanent nature, or parts of such local laws, inconsistent with the provisions contained in the Code adopted by this local law are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only be to the extent of such inconsistency, and any valid legislation of the Village of Churchville which is not in conflict with the provisions of the Code shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect.
The repeal of local laws provided for in § 1-5 of this local law shall not affect the following classes of local laws, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:
A. 
Any right or liability established, accrued or incurred under any legislative provision of the Village of Churchville prior to the effective date of this local law or any action or proceeding brought for the enforcement of such right or liability.
