[Adopted 8-10-1971 by L.L. No. 5-1971 as
Ch. 5 of the 1971 Code]
Section 341-a of the Village Law, as added thereto
by Chapter 650 of the Laws of 1927, as it applies to the Incorporated
Village of Highland Falls, is hereby amended to read as follows:
Section 341-a Liability of Village in Certain
Actions.
No civil action shall be brought or maintained
against the Incorporated Village of Highland Falls for damages or
injuries to person or property sustained in consequence of any street,
highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk being defective, out
of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed, or in consequence of the
existence or accumulation of snow or ice upon any street, highway,
bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk, unless written notice of existence
of such condition, relating to the particular place, had, prior to
the happening of the event causing the damages or injuries to persons
or property, actually been given to the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated
Village of Highland Falls and there had been a failure or neglect
on the part of said Village to cause such condition to be corrected
or such snow or ice to be removed or the place otherwise made reasonably
safe within a reasonable time after the receipt of such notice.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall be
held to revive any claim or cause of action now barred by any existing
requirement or statute of limitations nor to waive any existing limitation
now applicable to any claim or cause of action against the Incorporated
Village of Highland Falls.
