This chapter shall be known as the "Eminent Domain Local Law
of the Village of Lima," and the purpose and intent of the chapter
is to procedurally limit the authority of the Village of Lima to exercise
its statutory right of eminent domain, as authorized by the Eminent
Domain Procedure Law of the State of New York. It is explicitly understood
and provided that this chapter shall govern any eminent domain proceeding
initiated by the Village Board of the Village of Lima, but that said
chapter does not and is not intended to alter, affect or impair the
Eminent Domain Procedure Law as it applies to other municipal or legal
jurisdictions with authority to exercise the power of eminent domain.
This chapter is understood and intended to apply only to such instances
in which the Village of Lima and/or its instrumentalities may initiate
an eminent domain proceeding.
This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority granted by
Municipal Home Rule Law.
The Village Board of the Village of Lima promulgates this chapter
to express the Board's formulation of its own public policy statement
in the matter of eminent domain.
This chapter shall take effect within 30 days of its filing
in the Office of the Secretary of State.
