[Adopted 1-16-2007 by L.L. No. 1-2007]
In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village of Oyster Bay Cove, as codified by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 320, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Oyster Bay Cove," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions contained in the "Code of the Village of Oyster Bay Cove" to any other local law, ordinance or resolution 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, ordinance or resolution had been formally amended to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of local laws, ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this local law are intended as a continuation of such local laws, ordinances and resolutions and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior local law, ordinance or resolution. 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 Oyster Bay Cove, and it is the intention of said Board that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said 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 Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below.
All local laws and ordinances of a general and permanent nature of the
Village of Oyster Bay Cove in force on the date of the adoption of this local
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reference therein are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of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 in § 1-3 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

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter or part
of this local law or of any local law, ordinance or resolution included in
this Code now 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, section, article, chapter or part thereof
directly involved in the controversy 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 Oyster Bay Cove 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 Oyster Bay Cove by impressing thereon
the Seal of the Village of Oyster Bay Cove, 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, ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the "Code
of the Village of Oyster Bay Cove" 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

ordinances or resolutions may be amended, deleted or changed from time to
time as the Board of Trustees deems desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to keep up-to-date the certified

changes in said Code and all local laws and resolutions 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 said Code shall, when
finally enacted or adopted, be included therein by temporary attachment of
copies of such changes, local laws or resolutions until such changes, local
laws or resolutions are printed as supplements to said 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 Oyster Bay Cove or who alters or tampers with such Code in any
manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Village of Oyster
Bay Cove 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.
