Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions contained in the "Code of the Town of Milo" to any other local law, ordinance or resolution 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, ordinance or resolution had been formally amended to so read.

All local laws and ordinances of a general and permanent nature
of the Town of Milo 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force by reference therein are hereby repealed from and after the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:

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter
or part of this local law or of any local law, ordinance or resolution
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 Town Clerk of the Town of Milo 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

thereon the Seal of the Town, 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. 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, ordinances and resolutions known collectively
as the "Code of the Town of Milo" or any new local laws, ordinances
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, as provided hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf

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.

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, ordinances or resolutions until such changes, local laws,
ordinances 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 Milo 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 Clerk, changes
or amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code
of the Town of Milo or who alters or tampers with such Code in any
manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Town of
Milo 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.
A. In compiling and preparing the local laws, ordinances and resolutions for publication as the Code of the Town of Milo, no changes in the meaning or intent of such local laws, ordinances and resolutions have been made, except as provided for in Subsection

[Adopted 1-17-2017 by L.L. No. 1-2017]
The local laws and legislation of a general and permanent nature of the Town of Milo, including the 1997 Code adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Milo, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters, articles and sections by General Code, as set forth in the Derivation Table included at the end of the Code, and as renumbered to consist of Chapters
1 through
350, together with an Appendix, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the “Code of the Town of Milo,” hereafter known and referred to as “Code.”
In compiling and preparing the legislation and 1997 Code for
publication as the 2017 Code of the Town of Milo, no changes in the
meaning or intent of such legislation have been made. Certain grammatical
changes and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or
more of said pieces of legislation. Chapters, articles and sections
have been renumbered pursuant to the Derivation Table included at
the end of the Code, including all internal references and cross-references.
It is the intention of the Town Board that all such changes be adopted
as part of the Code as if the legislation had been previously formally
amended to read as such.
A. The provisions
of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of
legislation in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code
by this local law, are intended as a continuation of such legislation
and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions
shall date from the date of adoption of the prior law. All such provisions
are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed
as to their adoption by the Town of Milo, and it is the intention
of the Town Board that each such provision contained within the Code
is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said Code.
B. For purposes
of transition from the 1997 Code to this Code, any reference to a
chapter or section number from the 1997 Code on or in any form, license,
permit, ticket or other Town document shall be deemed to refer to
the corresponding chapter or section in this Code until such form,
license, permit, ticket or other Town document is revised or reprinted
to refer to the numbering in this Code.
The provisions of this local law are hereby made Article
II of Chapter
1 of the Code of the Town of Milo, such local law to be entitled “General Provisions, Article
II, Adoption of Renumbered 2017 Code,” and the sections of this local law shall be numbered §§
1-14 to
1-20, inclusive.
If any clause, sentence paragraph, section or part of this local
law or the application thereof to any person, form or corporation,
or circumstance, shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order or judgment shall not
affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined
in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part
of this local law or in its application to the person, individual,
firm or corporation or circumstance directly involved in the controversy
in which such judgment or order shall be rendered.
This law shall be interpreted in such a way wherever possible
so that the meaning of the words and phrases and sections herein shall
make them valid and legal in their effect. Whenever the requirements
of this law are at variance with the requirements of other lawfully
adopted rules, regulations or laws, the law with the most restrictive
provisions or those imposing the higher standards shall govern.
This local law shall be operative immediately and effective
upon being filed with the New York State Secretary of State pursuant
to Section 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York.
