The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantially 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 and all such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Town Board of the Town of Tully, 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; provided, however, any amendments, changes or modifications to any earlier existing local laws or ordinances or parts thereof, shall become effective on the effective date of this local law. Any provisions of former local laws and ordinances, including without limitation, as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §
1-3 below.
Subject to the provisions of §
1-4 below, all local laws and ordinances of general and permanent nature of the Town of Tully, in force on the date of the adoption of this local law and not contained in the Code being adopted by this local law, or recognized and continued in force by reference therein, are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of this local law.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obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal unless and except as and to the extent expressly stated as repealed and/or superseded by this local law by reference to the specific article, chapter and/or section repealed or superseded:

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter or part
of this local law 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. If any chapter of this Code
shall be found invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the predecessor
of that chapter, if any, shall be deemed to have not been repealed and to
be in full force and effect.
A copy of the Code has been filed in the office of the Town Clerk of
the Town of Tully 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 Town Clerk of the Town of
Tully by impressing thereon the Seal of the Town of Tully, and such certified
copy shall remain on file in the office of said Town Clerk to be made available
to persons desiring to examine the same during all times while said Code is
in effect.
Any and all future additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to
any of the local laws, ordinances and resolution known collectively as the
"Code of the Town of Tully" or any new local laws or resolutions, when enacted
or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Town Board 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 printed and included 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 Town Board deems desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Town Clerk to keep up-to-date the certified
copy of the book containing the Code for the Town of Tully required to be
filed in the office of the Town Clerk for use by the public. All changes in
said Code and all local laws and resolutions adopted by the Town Board 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 printed
as supplements to said Code book at which time such supplements shall be inserted
therein.
Copies of the Code may be purchased from the Town Clerk of the Town
of Tully upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of the Town Board,
which Board may also arrange by resolution for procedures for the periodic
supplementation thereof.
Any person who, without authorization from the Town Board, changes or
amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of the
Town of Tully or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever
which will cause the legislation of the Town of Tully to be misrepresented
thereby 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.
The provisions of this local law are hereby made Article
I of Chapter
1 of the Code of the Town of Tully, such local law to be entitled "General Provisions, Article
