permanent nature of the Town of Salina in force on the date of the
adoption of this local law and not contained in such Code or recognized

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section,

or resolution included in this Code now or through supplementation
shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder

in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has
been filed in the office of the Town Clerk of the Town of Salina and
shall remain there for use and examination by the public until final

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 Town of Salina" or any new
local laws, ordinances or resolutions, when enacted or adopted in
such form as to indicate the intention of the Town Board to be a part
thereof, shall be deemed to be incorporated into such Code so that

deems desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Town Clerk to keep
up-to-date the certified copy of the book containing the Code of the

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, ordinances or resolutions until such
changes, local laws, ordinances or resolutions are printed as supplements
to said Code book, at which time such supplements shall be inserted
therein.
Copies of the Code may be purchased from the
Town Clerk of the Town of Salina upon the payment of a fee to be set

for procedures for the periodic supplementation thereof.
Any person who, without authorization from the
Town Clerk, changes or amends, by additions or deletions, any part
or portion of the Code of the Town of Salina or who alters or tampers
with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation
of the Town of Salina 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
