Before voting upon the proposed enactment of
a local law, the Board of Trustees shall fix a day, within 30 days
after the presentation of a local law to it, for a public hearing
thereon and, prior to such hearing, shall cause a notice of the time
and place of such hearing to be given. Such public notice shall be
given by the Village Clerk by causing the same to be published once
in the official newspaper at least three days prior to the day fixed
for such hearing. In case there is at any time no official newspaper,
the Board of Trustees shall designate the manner of giving such public
notice. Such notice shall also contain the title of the proposed local
law and a brief explanatory statement thereof prepared by the Clerk
and approved by the Village Attorney.
The Board of Trustees shall attend at the time
and place appointed for such hearing, which shall be within the Village
and reasonable of access and at a reasonable hour, and shall afford
an opportunity for a public hearing concerning such proposed local
law.
Proof of publication of such notice of public
hearing shall be filed in the office of the Village Clerk.
