Before voting upon the proposed enactment of a local law, the Board
of Trustees shall fix a day, within 10 days after the presentation of a local
law to it, for a public hearing thereon and, within 20 days after such local
law shall have been presented to it, shall cause a notice of the time and
place of such hearing to be given. Such public notice shall be given by the
Village Clerk, causing the same to be published once in the official newspaper
at least three days prior to the day fixed for such hearing. In case there
is at any time no official newspaper, the Board of Trustees shall designate
the manner of giving such public notice. Such notice shall also contain the
title of the proposed local law and a brief explanatory statement thereof
prepared by the Clerk and approved by the Village Attorney.
The Board of Trustees shall attend at the time and place appointed for
such hearing, which shall be within the village and reasonable of access and
at a reasonable hour and shall afford an opportunity for a public hearing
concerning such proposed local law.
