[Adopted 3-5-2007 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 Perry, as codified by General Code, LLC, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 490, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Perry," 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 Perry" 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 Perry, 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 Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below.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 Perry 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therein are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of this local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.

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter or part

person or circumstance be adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction,
such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part, provision or
application directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall
have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder
of this Code or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office
of the Village Clerk of the Village of Perry 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 Perry by impressing thereon the Seal of the
Village of Perry, 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 Perry" 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

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 Perry or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever
which will cause the legislation of the Village of Perry 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.
