The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same
as those of the 1966 Code and the local laws, ordinances and resolutions in
force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this local law, are
intended as a continuation of such local laws, ordinances and resolutions
and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall
date from the date of adoption of the prior local law, ordinance or resolution.
All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are
hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Town Board of the Town of Williamson,
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.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter or part
of this local law or of any local law, ordinance or resolution 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.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to any of
the local laws, ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the "Code
of the Town of Williamson" or any new local laws, ordinances or resolutions,
when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Town
Board 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 book containing said Code as amendments and supplements thereto.
Nothing contained in this local law shall affect the status of any local law,
ordinance or resolution contained herein, and such local laws, ordinances
or resolutions may be amended, deleted or changed from time to time as the
Town Board deems desirable.
Copies of the Code may be purchased from the Town Clerk of the Town
of Williamson upon the payment of a fee as set forth by resolution of the
Town Board. The Town Board may also arrange by resolution for procedures for
the periodic supplementation thereof.
Any person who, without authorization from the Town Clerk, changes or amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of the Town of Williamson or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Town of Williamson to be misrepresented thereby or who violates any other provision of this local law shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to the penalties set forth in Article
II, Penalties for Offenses, of Chapter
1, General Provisions, of the Code of the Town of Williamson.
The provisions of this local law are hereby made Article
III of Chapter
1 of the Code of the Town of Williamson, to be numbered §§
1-9 to
1-17, inclusive.
This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary
of State of the State of New York.
