[Adopted 5-16-2019 by L.L. No. 9-2019]
In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws and ordinances of the Village of Island Park, as codified by General Code, and consisting of Chapters
1 through
625, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Island Park," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws or ordinances contained in the Code of the Village of Island Park to any other local law or ordinance appearing in said Code, such reference shall be changed to the appropriate chapter title, chapter number, article number or section number appearing in the Code as if such local law or ordinance had been formally amended to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of local laws and ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this local law are intended as a continuation of such local laws and ordinances and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior local law or ordinance. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Island Park, and it is the intention of said Board that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §
1-3 below.
All local laws and ordinances of a general and permanent nature
of the Village of Island Park in force on the date of the adoption
of this local law and not contained in such Code or recognized and
continued in force by reference therein are hereby repealed from and
after the effective date of this local law.
The repeal of local laws and ordinances provided for in §
1-3 of this local law shall not affect the following classes of local laws, ordinances, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:

provision of the Village of Island Park prior to the effective date

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter
or part of this local law or of any local law or ordinance included
in this Code now or 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, chapter or part thereof directly involved in the controversy
in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the
office of the Village Clerk of the Village of Island Park 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 by the Village Clerk of the Village of
Island Park by impressing thereon the Seal of the Village of Island
Park, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of
said Village Clerk to be made available to persons desiring to examine
the same during all times while said Code is in effect. The enactment
and publication of this local law, coupled with the availability of
a copy of the Code for inspection by the public, shall be deemed,
held and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions
of the Code for all purposes.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to any of the local laws or ordinances known collectively as the "Code
of the Village of Island Park" or any new local laws or resolutions,
when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention
of the Board of Trustees to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to
be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the Code shall
be understood and intended to include such additions, deletions, amendments
or supplements. Whenever such additions, deletions, amendments or
supplements to the Code shall be enacted or adopted, they shall thereafter
be published in the Code as amendments and supplements thereto. Nothing
contained in this local law shall affect the status of any local law,
ordinance or resolution contained herein, and such local laws, ordinances
or resolutions may be amended, deleted or changed from time to time
as the Board of Trustees deems desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to keep up-to-date
the Code of the Village of Island Park. All changes in said Code and
all local laws and resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees subsequent
to the enactment of this local law in such form as to indicate the
intention of said Board to be a part of said 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 published as supplements to said Code.
Copies of the Code, or any chapter or portion of it, may be
purchased from the Village Clerk, or an authorized agent of the Clerk,
upon the payment of a fee to be set from time to time by the Board
of Trustees. The Clerk may also arrange for procedures for the periodic
supplementation of the Code.
Any person who alters or tampers with the Code of the Village
of Island Park in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation
of the Village of Island Park 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.
