Local laws, ordinances and resolutions adopted subsequent to September 25, 1979, but prior to the effective date of this local law are hereby specifically continued in effect to the same extent as if referred to in §
1-2 of this local law, and such local laws, ordinances and resolutions of a Code nature shall hereafter be incorporated into the Code in such manner as is most appropriate.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office
of the Town Clerk of the Town of Riga and shall remain there for use and examination
by the public until final action is taken on this local law, and upon adoption
of this local law, such copy shall be certified to by the Town Clerk of the
Town of Riga, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of
said Town Clerk to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same
during all times while said Code is in effect.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to any of
the local laws, ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the "Code
of the Town of Riga," or any new local laws, ordinances or resolutions of
a general and permanent nature, when enacted or adopted in such form as to
indicate the intention of the Town Board to be a part thereof, shall be deemed
to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the Code of the Town
of Riga 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, ordinance or resolution
contained herein, and such local laws, ordinances or resolutions may be amended,
deleted or changed from time to time as the Town Board deems desirable in

subsequent to the enactment of this local law in such form as to indicate
the intention of said Board to be a part of said Code shall, when finally
enacted or adopted, be included therein by temporary attachment of copies
of such changes or local laws, ordinances or resolutions until such change
or local laws, ordinances or resolutions are printed as supplements to said
Code book, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the Code may be purchased from the Town Clerk of the Town
of Riga upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of the Town Board,
which may also arrange by resolution for procedures for the periodic supplementation
thereof.
The Town Clerk of the Town of Riga, pursuant to law, shall cause to
be published, in the manner required, a notice of the introduction and enactment
of this local law in the official newspaper of the town. A copy of the Code
of the Town of Riga shall be maintained in the office of the Town Clerk for
inspection by the public at all times during regular office hours. The enactment
and application 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 person who, without authorization from the Town Clerk, changes or
amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of the
Town of Riga, or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever
which will cause the legislation of the Town of Riga to be misrepresented
thereby, or who violates any other provision of this local law, shall be guilty
of a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New York, punishable
by a fine of not more than $250 or by imprisonment for a term of not more
than 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, Article or part of this local law or of any local law or ordinance cited in the table in §
1-2 hereof or of any local law, ordinance or resolution incorporated into the Code hereafter 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, section, Article or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
The provisions of this local law are hereby made Article
I of Chapter
1 of the Code of the Town of Riga, to be entitled "Chapter
1, General Provisions, Article
I, Adoption of Code," and the sections of this local law shall be numbered §§
1-1 to
