The Board of Trustees of the Village of Baxter
Estates desires to promote and protect the health, safety and welfare
of the residents of the Village, by providing an efficient and effective
means of enforcing compliance with statutes, local laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations relating to parking, fire prevention and safety,
health, sanitation, building, zoning and planning in the Village.
To that end, the Village recently created the offices of Village Justice
and Acting Village Justice, and now desires to implement the powers
granted to the Village in Municipal Home Rule Law § 10(4)(a),
by which the Village may authorize its enforcement personnel to issue
appearance tickets for any offenses which violate statutes, local
laws, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to parking, fire
prevention and safety, health, sanitation, building, zoning and planning
in the Village.

The Village finds that the grant of clear authority
to issue appearance tickets to the Village Superintendent of Buildings
and certain other personnel will facilitate the efficient and effective
enforcement by the Village of the statutes, local laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations described above, which will inure to the benefit
of the Village and all of its residents.
