contain the title of the proposed local law and a brief explanatory statement
thereof.

is published, post one (1) such copy, together with the notice of hearing,
in a conspicuous place in his office and shall also make copies of such proposed
local law available at his office for inspection by and distribution to any
interested person during business hours.
The Village Clerk shall forthwith, upon the adoption of a local law
by the Village Board, post a copy thereof in a conspicuous place in his office
