In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws and ordinances of the Village of Monticello, as codified by General Code, and consisting of Chapters
1 through
280, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Monticello," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws and ordinances contained in the "Code of the Village of Monticello" to any other local law or ordinance 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 or ordinance had been formally amended to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of the 1999 Code and the local laws and ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this local law, are intended as a continuation of such local laws and ordinances and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior local law or ordinance. 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 Monticello, and it is the intention of said Board of Trustees 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 Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §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.
The repeal of local laws and ordinances provided for in §
1-3 of this local law shall not affect the following classes of local laws, ordinances, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:

A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the
office of the Village Clerk of the Village of Monticello 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

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,

of the Code for all purposes.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to any of the local laws or ordinances known collectively as the "Code

It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to keep up-to-date
the certified copy of the book containing the Code of the Village

local law in such form as to indicate the intention of said Board
of Trustees to be a part of said Code shall, when finally enacted
or adopted, be included therein by temporary attachment of copies
of such changes or local laws until such changes or local laws 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 alters or tampers with the Code of the Village
of Monticello in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation

an offense and shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine
of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for a term of not more than
