§ 1-16 Additional changes.

In compiling and preparing the local laws, ordinances and resolutions for publication as the Code of the Village of Depew, certain grammatical changes and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or more of said pieces of legislation. It is the intention of the Board of Trustees that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the local laws, ordinances and resolutions had been previously formally amended to read as such.

As part of the process of republication, references to New York State statutes are hereby revised to cite the current provisions.

§ 1-17 Continuation of existing provisions.

The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of the 1971 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 Board of Trustees of the Village of Depew, 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.

§ 1-18 Severability.

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.

§ 1-19 Amendments to Code.

Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Depew" or any new local laws, ordinances or resolutions, 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 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 Board of Trustees deems desirable.

§ 1-20 Sale of Code book; supplementation.

Copies of the Code may be purchased from the Village Clerk of the Village of Depew upon the payment of a fee as set forth by resolution of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees may also arrange by resolution for procedures for the periodic supplementation thereof.

§ 1-21 Penalties for tampering with 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 Depew or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Village of Depew to be misrepresented thereby or who violates any other provision of this local law shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine not more than $250 or imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or both such fine and imprisonment.
