Editor's Note: This local law was originally designated as L.L. No.
4-1986, but was changed upon filing with the state.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Rouses Point, in addition to
any other powers conferred upon villages, has the power to enact local laws
which are deemed expedient or desirable for the safety and general welfare
of the inhabitants of the Village.
For that purpose, the Board of Trustees has made available a telephone
number for use in the event of fire, ambulance, police or other emergency.
No person shall be allowed to use an automatic-dialing or other similar
type of device which is programmed to ring said emergency telephone number,
since such devices may, if not programmed properly or operating correctly,
tie up said emergency telephone number.
Unless another penalty is provided by law, any person committing an
offense against any provision of this article shall, upon conviction, be guilty
of a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New York, punishable
by a fine not exceeding $250 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15
days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The continuance of an offense
for each day (24 hours) shall be deemed a distinct and separate violation.
Where it appears to the Board of Trustees that any person does not comply
with any provision of this article, notwithstanding the imposition of any
penalty in respect of such noncompliance and in addition to any other right
or remedy, the Village may apply to a Justice of the Supreme Court for an
order directing such provision or an order fit for restraining or enforcing
or prohibiting the noncompliance or for an injunction for the same or for
a mandatory order, as the case may be.
