Before voting upon the enactment of a local law, the Board of Trustees
shall determine a day for a public hearing thereon, and, within 20 days after
such proposed law shall have been presented to said Board, the Village Clerk
shall cause public notice of the time and place of such hearing to be given.
Such public notice shall be given by the Village Clerk by causing the same
to be published once in the official newspaper of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson
at least five days prior to the day fixed for such public hearing. In case there is, at the time, no official newspaper of the village,
the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson shall designate the
manner of giving such public notice. Such notice shall contain the title of
the proposed local law and a brief explanatory statement thereof prepared
by the Village Clerk.
Such hearing shall be held within the Village of Croton-on-Hudson at
a reasonable time and place, and at such hearing the Board of Trustees shall
offer an opportunity to all interested persons to be heard concerning such
proposed local law.
Proof of publication of such notice of hearing shall be filed in the
office of the Village Clerk.
