the title of the proposed local law and brief explanatory statement
thereof prepared by the Clerk and approved by the Village Attorney.
The Mayor 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 the local law.
Proof of publication of such notice of public
hearing shall be filed in the office of the Village Clerk.
