PREFACE
The recording of local
law is an aspect of municipal history, and as the
community develops and changes, review and revision of old laws and
consideration of new laws, in the light of current trends, must keep pace. The
orderly collection of these records is an important step in this
ever-continuing process. Ordinances must be more than chronological enactments
reposing in the pages of old records. They must be available and logically
arranged for convenient use and must be kept up-to-date. It was with thoughts
such as these in mind that the Board of the
A brief introduction to the organization and main features of the Code is in order, for efficient use will obviously enhance its value. The following points should be noted.
Contents of Code
The various chapters of
the Code contain the General Ordinance of the village adopted
Reserve Chapters
Space has been provided for the convenient insertion, alphabetically, of later enactments or amendments to the Code. In the Table of Contents such space appears as chapters entitled “(Reserved)." In the body of the Code, reserved space is provided by breaks in the page-numbering sequence between chapters.
Table of Contents
The Table of Contents details the arrangement of material by chapter as a means of identifying specific areas of legislation, these chapters being arranged in alphabetical progression from one subject to another.
Pagination
A unique page numbering system has been used, in which each chapter forms an autonomous unit. One hundred pages have been allotted to each chapter, and the first page of each is the number of that chapter followed by the numerals "01." Thus, Chapter 5 begins on page 501, Chapter 52 on page 5201, etc. By use of this system, it is possible to add or change pages in any chapter without affecting the sequence of subsequent pages in other chapters, and to interpolate entire new chapters without affecting the existing organization.
Numbering of Sections
A chapter-related section-numbering system is employed, in which each section of every chapter is assigned a number which indicates both the number of the chapter and the location of the section within that chapter. Thus, the first section of Chapter 5 is § 5-1, and the fourth section of Chapter 52 is § 52-4.
Scheme
The Scheme is the list of section titles which precedes the text of each chapter. These titles are carefully written so that, taken together, they may be considered as a summary of the content of the chapter. For ease and precision of reference, the Scheme titles are repeated as section headings in the text.
Index
The Index is a guide to information. It has been formulated to enable the reader to locate a particular section quickly. Each section of each chapter has been indexed. The Index should be supplemented and revised from time to time as new legislation is added to the Code.
Appendix
Certain forms of local legislation do not meet the definition of "ordinance" but are of such significance that their application is community-wide or their provisions are germane to the conduct of municipal government. The Appendix of this Code is reserved for such legislation and for any other material that the community may wish to include.
Supplementation
Supplementation of the Code will follow the adoption of new legislation or amendments to the Code. Such amendments will be included and repeals will be indicated as soon as possible after passage. The dateline on the bottom of the page does not indicate the adoption date of the section, but rather identifies when the section was sent out to subscribers as a supplement or update.
