[Adopted 4-1-2010 by L.L. No. 1-2010]
A.
The Village is exempt from all of its own local laws, rules, and
regulations in the performance of its governmental functions.
B.
For the purposes of this exemption, "governmental functions" shall
be defined with the widest latitude so long as the Village is acting
in furtherance of the public health, welfare, and safety, including,
but not limited to, providing for a Village Hall; Village Justice
Court; recreational facilities; road repair; snow removal; sanitation
and waste collection and treatment; refuse and recyclable collection;
street lighting; traditional utility services; and cable, cellular,
Wi-Fi, and similar communication services.
C.
In the event that there is any question as to whether or not the
Village is acting in its governmental capacity, there shall be a rebuttable
presumption that so long as the action is being undertaken with the
permission of the Village on property owned or leased by the Village,
or, with the authorization of the Village, being performed by Village
employees or contractors of the Village, the action is a "governmental"
function.
D.
Any voluntary action by the Village to abide by or follow all or
a portion of its local laws, rules, and/or regulations with regard
to one or more of its actions or functions shall not be deemed a waiver
of the Village's exemption established hereunder with regard
to any subsequent Village action or function.
E.
The exemption set forth herein is solely for the benefit of the Village
and not for any other municipalities or other governmental entities.
