[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hewlett
Harbor 1-14-1988 by L.L. No. 1-1988. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 150 of the Criminal Procedure
Law of the State of New York and the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State
of New York, the persons hereinafter set forth are designated as public servants
of the Incorporated Village of Hewlett Harbor for the purpose of issuing and
serving appearance tickets for the enforcement of any statute, local law,
ordinance, rule or regulation less than felony grade relating to parking,
licensing of occupations or businesses, fire prevention and safety, health
and sanitation and building, zoning and planning.
The issuance and service of appearance tickets shall have the same force

petty offense in his presence.
The following persons are hereby designated public servants of the Incorporated
Village of Hewlett Harbor who are authorized to issue and serve appearance
tickets:
A public servant who has issued and served an appearance ticket must,
at or before the time such appearance ticket is returnable, file or cause
to be filed with the local criminal court in which it is returnable an information,
simplified information if authorized, or misdemeanor complaint charging the
person named in such appearance with the offense specified therein.
