[Adopted 3-2-1964 as § 2-5 of the 1964 Code of
Ordinances]
No civil action shall be brought or maintained
against the Village for damages or injuries to person or property
sustained in consequence of any street, highway, bridge, culvert,
sidewalk or crosswalk being defective, out of repair, unsafe, dangerous
or obstructed or in consequence of the existence or accumulation of
snow or ice upon any street, highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or
crosswalk unless written notice of the existence of such condition,
relating to the particular place, had theretofore actually been given
to the Board of Trustees of the Village and there had been a failure
or neglect on the part of said Village to cause such condition to
be corrected or such snow or ice to be removed or the place otherwise
made reasonably safe within a reasonable time after the receipt of
such notice.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall be
held to revive any claim or cause of action now barred by any existing
requirement or statute of limitations nor to waive any existing limitation
now applicable to any claim or cause of action against the Village.
