In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws and ordinances of the Village of Roslyn Harbor, as codified by General Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of Chapters

275, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Roslyn Harbor," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws and ordinances contained in the "Code of the Village of Roslyn Harbor" 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 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 Roslyn Harbor, and it is the intention of said Board 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 Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §
1-11 below.
All local laws and ordinances of a general and
permanent nature of the Village of Roslyn Harbor in force on the date
of the adoption of this local law and not contained in such Code or
recognized and continued in force by reference therein are hereby
repealed from and after the effective date of this local law.
The repeal of local laws and ordinances provided for in §
1-11 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. Any right or liability established, accrued or incurred
under any legislative provision of the Village of Roslyn Harbor prior
to the effective date of this local law or any action or proceeding
brought for the enforcement of such right or liability.
B. Any offense or act committed or done before the effective
date of this local law in violation of any legislative provision of
the Village of Roslyn Harbor or any penalty, punishment or forfeiture
which may result therefrom.
C. Any prosecution, indictment, action, suit or other
proceeding pending or any judgment rendered prior to the effective
date of this local law, brought pursuant to any legislative provision
of the Village of Roslyn Harbor.

or any portion thereof.
F. Any local law or ordinance of the Village of Roslyn

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section,
article, chapter or part of this local law or of any local law or
ordinance 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
thereof but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence,
paragraph, section, article, chapter or part thereof directly involved
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 Village Clerk of the Village of Roslyn
Harbor 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 Roslyn Harbor by impressing thereon the Seal of
the Village of Roslyn Harbor, 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, 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 or ordinances known collectively
as the "Code of the Village of Roslyn Harbor" or any new local laws,
when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention
of the Board of Trustees to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to
be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the Code shall
be understood and intended to include such additions, deletions, amendments
or supplements. Whenever such additions, deletions, amendments or
supplements to the Code shall be enacted or adopted, they shall thereafter
be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf

deems desirable.

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 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, without authorization from the
Village Clerk, changes or amends, by additions or deletions, any part
or portion of the Code of the Village of Roslyn Harbor or who alters
or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause
the legislation of the Village of Roslyn Harbor 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 both.
A. In compiling and preparing the local laws and ordinances for publication as the Code of the Village of Roslyn Harbor, no changes in the meaning or intent of such local laws or ordinances have been made, except as provided for in Subsections
B and
C hereof. Certain grammatical changes and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or more of said pieces of legislation.
