[Adopted 7-16-2008 by L.L. No. 4-2008]
In accordance with Subdivision 3 of § 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, the local laws, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village of Naples, as codified by General Code, and consisting of Chapters
1 through
385, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Naples," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the local laws, ordinances and resolutions contained in the Code of the Village of Naples 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.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of local laws, ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this local law, are intended as a continuation of such local laws, ordinances and resolutions and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior local law, ordinance or resolution. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Naples, and it is the intention of said Board that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former local laws and ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §
1-3 below.
All local laws and ordinances of a general and
permanent nature of the Village of Naples 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and continued in force by reference therein are hereby repealed from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:

under any legislative provision of the Village of Naples prior to
the effective date of this local law or any action or proceeding brought

date of this local law in violation of any legislative provision of
the Village of Naples or any penalty, punishment or forfeiture which
may result therefrom.

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 has been filed in the office
of the Village Clerk of the Village of Naples 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
shall be certified by the Village Clerk of the Village of Naples by
impressing thereon the Seal of the Village of Naples, and such certified
copy shall remain on file in the office of said Village 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 Village of Naples" or any new
local laws or resolutions, when enacted or adopted in such form as
to indicate the intention of the Board of Trustees 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 inserted in said Code as amendments and supplements
thereto. Nothing contained in this local law shall affect the status
of any local law, ordinance or resolution contained herein, and such
local laws, ordinances or resolutions may be amended, deleted or changed
from time to time as the Board of Trustees deems desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to
keep up-to-date the certified copy of the Code of the Village of Naples
required to be filed in the office of the Village Clerk for use by
the public. All changes in said Code and all local laws and resolutions
adopted by the Board of Trustees 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 or resolutions until such changes, local laws or resolutions
are included as supplements to said Code book.
Copies of the Code, or any chapter or portion
of it, may be purchased from the Village Clerk, or an authorized agent
of the Clerk, upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of
the Board of Trustees. The Clerk may also arrange for procedures for
the periodic supplementation of the Code.
Any person who alters or tampers with the Code
of the Village of Naples in any manner whatsoever which will cause
the legislation of the Village of Naples 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.
