Ch. 16 of the 1971 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No local law shall be adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Highland Falls until a public hearing has been held thereon in its final

after public notice has been given of the time and place of the holding of
such public hearing. Such notice shall be given by the Village Clerk by causing
the same to be published once in the official newspaper of the Village. Such
notice shall contain the title of the proposed local law and a brief explanation
thereof.
The Village Clerk shall cause to be printed or otherwise reproduce copies
of such proposed local law and shall, not later than the day such notice is
published, post one such copy, together with the notice of hearing, in a conspicuous
place in the Clerk's office and shall also make copies of such proposed
local law available at the Clerk's office for inspection by and distribution
to any interested person during business hours.
The Village Clerk shall forthwith upon the adoption of a local law by
the Board of Trustees post a copy thereof in a conspicuous place in the Clerk's
office and shall, within 10 days after such adoption, cause the local law,
or an abstract thereof describing the same in general terms, to be published
in the official newspaper of the Village.
Proof of publication of the notice of public hearing required and proof
of posting and publication required by this chapter as set forth herein shall
be filed in the office of the Village Clerk.
Each local law shall be numbered consecutively, beginning with No. 1,
for each calendar year. When a local law is finally adopted, and certified
copies thereof, as required by § 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law,
are to be filed in the offices of the Village Clerk and the Secretary of State,
the Village Clerk shall accordingly assign to such local law its appropriate
number.
