Notice - This site was previously a google Classic site. In 2020, google converted all sites to the new google format. At that time, the ability to index embedded pdf files was lost. Therefore, the Village Board Meeting minutes are no longer searchable. The only way to make them searchable on this site would be to copy and paste the content of each pdf file into a separate sub-page. This was done on one page, on May 15, to test that approach. The page sub-name is titled- vb-2022-01-10 . This would be a labor intensive project to add the search function. Instead, wouldn't it be nice if the Village of Ilion's web site had the search feature itself? Currently there is a search box but it has been disabled. See below for screenshots of the broken search box.
Ilionccc Next Meeting
Our last meeting scheduled to be at the Ilion Free Public Library, at 6:30 PM on Monday November 6, 6:30 pm, was cancelled.
Instead, members were asked to attend the Village Board workshop on revamping codes scheduled for Nov 8, 2017, at 6-8 pm, at the Municipal Building.
The VB has set a goal to pursue these needed updates in a timely fashion. There are numerous edits throughout both documents that require thought and it will require time to accomplish this task.
Next working-meeting is scheduled for Nov 8, 2017 at 6-8 pm.
Land Bank Meeting
A meeting is being held in Little Falls at Benton Hall Academy on Wednesday February 15 from 6-8 pm for a dynamic series of presentations by representatives from the Greater Mohawk Valley Land Bank, Keep Mohawk Valley Beautiful, City of Little Falls, and City of Rome. Main Street First is hosting this event to help educate the public about powerful new programs to help communities like ours fight blight in our neighborhoods. Note - the meeting was rescheduled due to the bad weather on Jan 17. (modified Feb 2, 2017)

Free NYS Uniform Code - Online Collection

Updated Uniform Code Property Maintenance Code - October 3, 2016
New York state’s previous property maintenance code allowed residents to have at least one unlicensed or inoperable motor vehicle on their property, but the new 2015 International Property Maintenance Code does not have such an allowance. State Uniform Code Law takes precedence over Local Laws unless the local laws are stricter and approved by the state.
Here is the text of the new code:
302.8 Motor vehicles (paragraph)
Except as provided for in other regulations, no inoperative or unlicensed motor vehicle shall be parked, kept or stored on any premises, and no vehicle shall at any time be in a state of major disassembly, disrepair, or in the process of being stripped or dismantled. Painting of vehicles is prohibited unless conducted inside an approved spray booth.
Exception: A vehicle of any type is permitted to undergo major overhaul, including body work, provided that such work is performed inside a structure or similarly enclosed area designed and approved for such purposes.
Big news!
Effective October 3, 2016
New York state’s previous property maintenance code allowed residents to have at least one unlicensed or inoperable motor vehicle on their property, but the new International Property Maintenance Code does not have such an allowance.
The draft of the new Open Container Law is available as 2 images scanned into one pdf file.
