No local law shall be adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Newburgh
until a public hearing has been held thereon in its final form before such
Town Board not less than three (3) nor more than thirty (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 Town Clerk by causing the same
to be published once in the official newspaper of the town or, if no newspaper
has been so designated, a newspaper having general circulation in the town.
Such notice shall contain the title of the proposed local law and a brief
explanatory statement thereof.
The Town 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 (1) such copy, together with the notice of hearing, on
the signboard at his office and shall also make copies of such proposed local
law available at his office for inspection by and distribution to any interested
person during business hours.
The Town Clerk shall forthwith upon the adoption of a local law by the
Town Board post a copy thereof on the signboard at his office and shall, within
ten (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 town.
Proof of publication of the notice of public hearing required by §
25-1 hereof and proof of the posting and publication required by §
25-3 hereof shall be filed in the office of the Town 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 are required by § 27 of the Municipal Home Rule Law
to be filed in the office of the Town Clerk and the Secretary of State, the
Town Clerk shall accordingly assign to such local law its appropriate number.
