An ordinance or resolution of the Town Council
may be read and adopted or rejected at any particular meeting of the
Town Council. More than one reading shall not be necessary for the
adoption of any ordinance or resolution. If the ordinance or resolution
before the Town Council is adopted, such ordinance or resolution shall
become effective at such time as may be specified therein, but if
no time is so specified, such ordinance or resolution shall become
effective immediately.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
No ordinance shall be amended, suspended or
repealed unless and except by ordinance regularly introduced, in writing,
and passed.
When an ordinance which has repealed another
shall itself be repealed, the previous ordinance shall not be revived
without express words to that effect.
The Town Clerk shall enter in a book copies
of all ordinances passed by the Town Council. The book in which ordinances
are thus entered shall be known as the "Ordinances at Large of the
Town of Louisa, Virginia" and shall be indexed.
The Town Clerk shall write on the first page
of every ordinance entered in the book mentioned in the preceding
section, if the same has been amended or repealed, as the case may
be, the words "amended" or "repealed," with a reference to the page
of the ordinance book where the amending or repealing ordinance can
be found.
