[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Middletown 7-14-1924
by L.L. No. 1-1924 (Ch. 53 of the 1971 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
Whenever a local law after its passage by the Common Council shall be
presented to the Mayor for approval, he shall forthwith fix a day for a public
hearing concerning such local law and cause public notice of the time and
place of such hearing to be given. Such notice shall be given by publication
for two successive days in the official newspaper published in the City. Such
hearing shall be held not earlier than five days after the day of the last
publication of such notice. Such notice shall contain the title of the local
law and either an explanatory statement concerning the same, or the full text
of the law, as the Mayor may determine. The Mayor shall attend at the time
and place appointed for such hearing and afford an opportunity for a public
hearing concerning such local law. Such hearing may be adjourned from time
to time, but an adjournment shall not operate to extend the time of the Mayor
to approve such local law or return it to the Common Council with his objections,
pursuant to the City Home Rule Law.
