Effect on existing laws of village
General Municipal (GMU) CHAPTER 24, ARTICLE 17-A, TITLE 3
§ 789. Effect on existing laws of village. 1. Except as otherwise
provided in the dissolution plan or elector initiated dissolution plan,
as the case may be, all local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of
a village in effect on the date of the dissolution of such village,
including but not limited to zoning ordinances, shall remain in effect
for a period of two years following dissolution, as if same had been
duly adopted by the town board and shall be enforced by the town within
the limits of the dissolved village, except that the town board shall
have the power at any time to amend or repeal such local laws,
ordinances, rules or regulations in the manner as other local laws,
ordinances, rules or regulations of the town.

2. If the village has a zoning board of appeals, or a planning board,
or both, and the town does not, then upon dissolution the town board
shall act in place of such board or boards until the town board shall
have appointed such board or boards for the town in accordance with the
provisions of the town law. Such appointments may be made prior to
dissolution, to become effective upon the effective date of dissolution.
