A. 
In the construction of this Code and of all ordinances, the following rules shall be observed, unless such construction would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the City Council:
(1) 
Generally. The provisions of this Code shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes expressed therein or implied from the expression thereof. In case of doubt or ambiguity in the meaning of such provisions the general shall yield to the particular. Reference for interpretation and construction shall tend to further the accomplishment of the elimination of the particular mischiefs for which the provisions were enacted. Words shall be construed in their common and usual significance unless the contrary is clearly indicated.
(2) 
City; corporation. Whenever the words "the City," "this City," "the corporation" or "this corporation" are used, they shall be construed as if the words "of Beacon, New York," followed them.
(3) 
Computation of time. Whenever a notice is required to be given or an act to be done, a certain length of time before any proceeding shall be had, the day on which such notice is given or such act is done shall be counted in computing the time, but the day on which such proceeding is to be had shall not be counted.
(4) 
Delegation of authority. Whenever a provision appears requiring the head of a department of the City to do some act or make certain inspections, it is to be construed to authorize the head of the department to designate, delegate and authorize subordinates to perform the required act or make the required inspection unless the terms of the provision or section designates otherwise.
(5) 
Gender. A word importing the masculine gender only shall extend and be applied to females and to firms, partnerships and corporations as well as to males.
(6) 
Interpretation. In the interpretation and application of any provision of this Code, it shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare. Where any provision of the Code imposes greater restrictions upon the subject matter than the general provision imposed by the Code, the provision imposing the greater restriction or regulation shall be deemed to be controlling.
(7) 
Joint authority. All words giving a joint authority to three or more persons or officers shall be construed as giving such authority to a majority of such persons or officers.
(8) 
Name of officer. Whenever the name of an officer is given, it shall be construed as though the words "of the City of Beacon" were added.
(9) 
Nontechnical and technical words. Words and phrases shall be construed according to the common and approved usage of the language, but technical words and phrases and such others as may have acquired a peculiar and appropriate meaning in law shall be construed and understood according to such meaning.
(10) 
Number. A word importing the singular number only may extend and be applied to several persons and things as well as to one person and thing.
(11) 
Or; and. "Or" may be read "and," and "and" may be read "or" if the sense requires it.
(12) 
Tense. Words used in the past or present tense shall include the future as well as the past and present.
B.

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or part of this local law or of any local law, ordinance or resolution cited in the table in § 1-7 hereof, or any legislation included in this Code 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 or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
A copy of the Charter and Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the office of the Administrator of the City of Beacon 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 to by the Administrator of the City of Beacon by impressing thereon the Seal of the City of Beacon, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of said Administrator to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same during all times while the said Code is in effect. The enactment and publication of this local law, coupled with the availability of a copy of the Charter and Code for inspection by the public, shall be deemed, held and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions of the Charter and 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 "Charter or Code of the City of Beacon," or any new local laws or resolutions, when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Council to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to be incorporated into such Charter or Code so that reference to the Charter or Code shall be understood and intended to include such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements. Whenever such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to the Charter or Code shall be enacted or adopted, they shall thereafter be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf book containing said Charter or Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.

It shall be the duty of the Administrator to keep up-to-date the certified copy of the book containing the Charter and Code of the City of Beacon required to be filed in the office of the Administrator for use by the public. All changes in said Charter or Code and all local laws and resolutions adopted by the Council subsequent to the enactment of this local law in such form as to indicate the intention of said Council to be a part of said Charter or 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 Charter and Code may be purchased from the Administrator of the City of Beacon upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of the Council, which Council may also arrange by resolution for procedures for the periodic supplementation thereof.
Any person who, without authorization from the Administrator, changes or amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Charter or Code of the City of Beacon, or who alters or tampers with such Charter or Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the City of Beacon 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.
Except where specifically provided elsewhere, any person who shall commit an offense against any provision of the Charter or Code of the City of Beacon shall, upon conviction thereof, be guilty of a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New York, punishable by a fine not exceeding $250 or by imprisonment for not exceeding 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
A. 
In compiling and preparing the local laws, ordinances and resolutions for publication as the Charter or Code of the City of Beacon, as distributed and designated in the table in § 1-7 hereof, no changes in the meaning or intent of such local laws, ordinances and resolutions have been made, except as provided for in Subsection B hereof. In addition, certain grammatical changes and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or more of said pieces of legislation. It is the intention of the Council that all such changes be adopted as part of the Charter or Code as if the local laws, ordinances and resolutions had been previously formally amended to read as such.
B. 
In addition, the following changes, amendments or revisions are made herewith, to become effective upon the effective date of this local law. (Chapter and section number references are to the local laws, ordinances and resolutions as they have been renumbered and appear in the Charter or Code.)[1]
