No local law shall be adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Crawford
until a public hearing has been held thereon in its final form before such
Town Board, not less than three nor more than 30 days after public notice
has been given of public hearing. Such notice shall be given by the Town Clerk
by causing the same to be published once in the official newspaper of the
Town. Such notice shall contain the title of the proposed local law and a
brief explanatory statement thereof.
The Town Clerk shall cause to be printed, or otherwise reproduced, copies
of such proposed local law and shall, not later than the day such notice is
published, post one such copy, together with the notice of hearing, in a conspicuous
place in his office and shall also make copies of such proposed local law
available at his office for inspection by and distribution to any interested
person during business hours.
The Town Clerk shall forthwith, upon the adoption of a local law by
the Town Board, post a copy thereof in a conspicuous place in his office and
shall, within 10 days after such adoption, cause the local law, or an abstract
thereof describing the same in general terms, to be published in the official
newspaper of the Town.
Proof of publication required by §
26-1 hereof and proof of the posting and publication required by §
26-3 hereof shall be filed in the office of the Town Clerk.
Each local law shall be numbered consecutively, beginning with the number
one for each calendar year. When a local law is finally adopted and certified
copies thereof, as required by § 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law,
are filed in the offices of the Town Clerk, the State Comptroller and the
Secretary of State, the Town Clerk shall accordingly assign to such local
law its appropriate number.
