This Chapter
60 shall be known as "Village Justice."
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Phoenix has determined
that it will be in the interest of the health, safety and welfare
of the residents of the Village of Phoenix for the Village to have
its own Justice Court to adjudicate local traffic, criminal and building
and zoning matters. The Board of Trustees has determined that the
creation of the office of Village Justice, with one Village Justice
to be elected and the other to be appointed as Acting Village Justice
in the absence of the Village Justice, will be sufficient to meet
the needs for local law enforcement.
This Chapter
60 is enacted pursuant to and consistent with the authority provided under § 3-301 of the Village Law of the State of New York and Articles 2 and 3 of the Municipal Home Rule Law.
This Chapter
60 is subject to permissive referendum.
