of any such ordinance, rule, regulation and statute.
The Village Board of Trustees shall from time to time promulgate
and make reasonable rules, practices, procedures and regulations governing

effective upon their being posted at the entrance to the facility
or areas governed by them and shall be enforced with the same force
and effect as the other provisions of this Part 2.
This Part 2 shall not be construed to prevent other law enforcement

accord with any other policing agreement approved by the Village Board
of Trustees.
In order to carry out the terms of this Part
2, the Village shall have the authority to issue the permits, set fees, post notices or take the other action as called for herein, subject to the provisions set forth in §

of Sidney, Champaign County or the State of Illinois.
