This article shall be known as "Park and Recreation Area Rules
and Regulations, Village of Minoa."
These rules and regulations set forth the Village's policies
regarding its public park and recreational area for the purpose of
providing comfortable, convenient, clean, attractive and safe places
for the motoring public.
A.
The establishment of these rules and regulations, applicable parts thereof, and enforcement thereof shall only apply and be enforceable to the extent that signage specifically advising of the provisions of this article (and of any excluded or exempted provisions, as provided at § 108-4) is prominently posted at the main entranceway to a park or recreation area subject hereof.
B.
As provided at § 108-4, one time/event exemptions may be issued by, or in connection with, an event permit duly issued by resolution of the Village Board and which permit shall be possessed at all times by the permittee and posted in the park or recreation area at the time of the event.
C.
The establishment of these rules and regulations and/or applicability
to a certain area or areas, whether or not designated as a "park"
or similar area, shall not in and of itself, be evidence of the alienation
of same by the Village of Minoa as parklands or for park purposes.
Except as may be otherwise specifically permitted by a duly
issued event permit from the Village Board of Trustees or by a duly
adopted resolution excluding or excepting a certain area(s) from a

Any person violating any of these specified rules and regulations

amount necessary to reimburse the Village of Minoa for the expense
of repairing any damage.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or
part of this local law or the application thereof to any person, individual,
corporation, firm, partnership, entity or circumstances is adjudged
invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction,
such order or judgment shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part of this law or in
its application directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the
validity of the remainder of this local law or the application thereof
to other persons or circumstances. Further, in adjudging such invalid
provision, the court shall attempt to modify same to a provision which
is not invalid or unconstitutional and which best achieves the intent
of the invalid provision.
