The Village Board of Trustees, pursuant to the authority granted it
under Article 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York,
hereby enacts this chapter.
The Village Board of Trustees has determined that minors have been congregating
and causing general disturbances and committing acts which would be, if committed
by adults, violations of the Penal Law, the Alcohol Beverage Control Law of
the State of New York and local laws of the Village of Phoenix, New York.
In an effort to reduce juvenile crime, protect the children of this municipality
and reinforce parental and guardian authority as well as ensure parental and
guardian responsibility, it is necessary to establish the responsibility for
the acts of minors and their parents or legal guardians.
Upon conviction of a violation of this chapter, a person shall be subject
to a fine of not less than $50 and not more than $100. Upon conviction of
a second violation within a twelve-month period, a person shall be subject
to a fine of not less than $75 and not more than $150 or imprisonment of not
more than 15 days, or both such fine and imprisonment.
