[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Sloan as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
[Adopted 7-27-2011 by L.L. No. 1-2011]
In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal
Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions
of the Village of Sloan, as codified by General Code, and consisting
of Chapters 1 through 455, together with an Appendix, shall be known
collectively as the "Code of the Village of Sloan," hereafter termed
the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws, ordinances
and resolutions contained in the "Code of the Village of Sloan" 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 Board
of Trustees of the Village of Sloan, 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repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below.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 Village of Sloan 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in force by reference therein are hereby repealed from and after the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.

of this local law shall not affect the following classes of local

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

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 Sloan 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 certified copy shall remain on file in the office of said Village
Clerk to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same

of this local law, coupled with the availability of a copy of the

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 Village of Sloan" or any new local laws or resolutions,
when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention

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

or resolutions may be amended, deleted or changed from time to time
as the Board of Trustees deems desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to keep up-to-date
the certified copy of the book containing the Code of the Village

resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees 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 or resolutions until such changes, local laws 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 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 alters or tampers with the Code of the Village
of Sloan in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation
of the Village of Sloan 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.
