No local law shall be adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Brightwaters until a public hearing has been held thereon in its final
form before such Board of Trustees not fewer than three nor more than 30 days
after public notice has been given of the time and place of the holding of
such public hearing. Such notice shall be given by the Village Clerk by causing
the same to be published once in the official newspaper of the Village. Such
notice shall contain the title of the proposed local law and a brief explanation
statement thereof.
The Village Clerk shall cause to be printed or otherwise reproduced
copies of such proposed local law and shall, not later than the day such notice
is published, post one such copy, together with the notice of hearing, in
a conspicuous place in the Clerk's office and shall also make copies
of such proposed local law available at the Clerk's 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 Board of Trustees, post copy thereof in a conspicuous place in the
Clerk's office and shall, within 10 days after such adoption, cause the
local law, or an abstract thereof describing the same in general terms, to
be published in the official newspaper of the Village.
Proof of publication of the notice of public hearing as required, and
proof of posting and publication as required by this chapter and set forth
herein shall be filed in the office of the Village Clerk.
Each local law shall be numbered consecutively beginning with No. 1
for each calendar year. When a local law is finally adopted and certified
copies thereof, as required by § 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law,
have been filed in the offices of the Village Clerk and the Secretary of State,
the Village Clerk shall accordingly assign to such local law its appropriate
number.
