No local law shall be adopted by the Town Board
of the Town of Lancaster until a public hearing has been held thereon
in its final form before such Town Board, not less than three nor
more than 30 days after public notice has been given of the time and
place of the holding of such public hearing. Such notice shall be
given by the Town Clerk by causing the same to be published once in
the official newspaper of the Town. Such notice shall contain the
title and the proposed local law or, in lieu thereof, a brief explanatory
statement thereof.
The Town Clerk shall cause to be printed or
otherwise reproduced copies of such proposed local law and shall,
not later than the day such notice is published, post one such copy,
together with the notice of hearing, on the signboard at the Clerk's
office and shall also make copies of such proposed local law available
at said office for inspection by and distribution to any interested
person during business hours.
The Town Clerk shall forthwith, upon the adoption
of a local law by the Town Board, post a copy thereof on the signboard
at the Clerk's office and shall, within 10 days after such adoption,
cause the local law or an abstract thereof describing the same in
general terms to be published in the official newspaper of the Town.
Proof of publication of the notice of public hearing required by §
23-1 hereof and proof of the posting and publication required by §
23-3 hereof shall be filed in the office of the Town Clerk.
Each local law shall be numbered consecutively,
beginning with the number one, for each calendar year. When a local
law is finally adopted and certified copies thereof, as required by
§ 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, are filed in the offices
of the Town Clerk, the State Comptroller and the Secretary of State,
the Town Clerk shall accordingly assign to such local law its appropriate
number.
