[Adopted 6-28-2010 by L.L. No. 3-2010]
In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Town of Canandaigua, as codified by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 220, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Town of Canandaigua," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions contained in the "Code of the Town of Canandaigua" to any other local law, ordinance or resolution 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, ordinance or resolution had been formally amended to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of 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 Canandaigua, 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 Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below.
All local laws and ordinances of a general and permanent nature
of the Town of Canandaigua 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in force by reference therein are hereby repealed from and after the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.

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.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the
office of the Town Clerk of the Town of Canandaigua 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 Town Clerk of the Town of Canandaigua
by impressing thereon the Seal of the Town, and such certified copy
shall remain on file in the office of said Town 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, ordinances and resolutions known collectively
as the "Code of the Town of Canandaigua" 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.
It shall be the duty of the Town Clerk to keep up-to-date the
certified copy of the book containing the Code of the Town of Canandaigua
required to be filed in the office of the Town Clerk for use by the
public. All changes in said Code and all local laws, ordinances and
resolutions adopted by the Town Board subsequent to 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,
local laws, ordinances or resolutions until such changes, local laws,
ordinances or resolutions 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 Town Clerk, or an authorized agent of the Clerk,
upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of the Town Board.
The Clerk may also arrange for procedures for the periodic supplementation
of the Code.
Any person who alters or tampers with the Code of the Town of
Canandaigua in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation
of the Town of Canandaigua 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.
