Before voting upon the proposed enactment of a local law, the Board
of Trustees shall fix a day, within 30 days after the presentation of a local
law to it, for public hearing thereon and 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 by 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.
Proof of publication of such notice of public hearing shall be filed
in the office of the Village Clerk.
