[Adopted 8-23-2010 by Ord. No. 461]
Pursuant to WS §§ 15-1-115 and 15-1-116, the ordinances of the Town of Pinedale of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Town Council of the Town of Pinedale, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code, LLC, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 475, together with an Appendix, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Code of the Town of Pinedale," hereinafter known and referred to as the "Code." This Code consists of all the regulatory and penal ordinances and certain other administrative ordinances of the Town of Pinedale, codified pursuant to the provisions of WS § 15-1-103.
This ordinance and the Code shall supersede all general and
permanent ordinances enacted prior to the enactment of this Code,
except such ordinances as are hereinafter expressly saved from repeal
or continued in force. This ordinance specifically repeals and replaces
the former Pinedale Municipal Code, adopted in 1983 by Ordinance No.
127, as amended and supplemented.
This ordinance shall become effective upon adoption. The Code
shall become effective on the date this ordinance becomes effective.
A copy of the Code in loose-leaf form has been filed in the
office of the Town Clerk and shall remain there for use and examination
by the public until final action is taken on this ordinance; and,
if this ordinance shall be adopted, such copy shall be certified to
by the Clerk of the Town of Pinedale by impressing thereon the Seal
of the Town, as provided by law, and such certified copy shall remain
on file in the office of the Town Clerk, to be made available to persons
desiring to examine the same during all times while said Code is in
effect.
A.
Any
and all additions, amendments or supplements to the Code, when passed
and adopted in such form as to indicate the intent of the governing
body to make them a part thereof, shall be deemed to be incorporated
into such Code so that reference to the "Code of the Town of Pinedale"
shall be understood and intended to include such additions and amendments.
Whenever such additions, amendments or supplements to the Code shall
be adopted, they shall thereafter be printed and, as provided hereunder,
inserted in the loose-leaf book containing said Code, as amendments
and supplements thereto.
B.
It
is sufficient to designate an ordinance adding to, amending, correcting
or repealing all or any part or portion of the Code as an addition
to, amendment to, correction or repeal of the Code. Further reference
may be had to the parts, chapters, sections and subsections of the
Code, and such references shall apply to that numbered part, chapter,
section or subsection as it appears in the Code. It is sufficient
to refer to this Code as the "Code of the Town of Pinedale" in any
prosecution for the violation of any provisions of the Code or in
any proceeding at law or equity.
The Clerk of the Town of Pinedale, pursuant to law, shall cause
to be published, in the manner required, a copy of this Adopting Ordinance
in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town. Sufficient copies
of the Code shall be maintained in the office of the Clerk for inspection
by the public at all times during regular office hours. The enactment
and publication of this Adopting Ordinance, coupled with availability
of copies of the Code for inspection by the public, shall be deemed,
held and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions
of the Code for all purposes.
It shall be the duty of the Clerk or someone authorized and
directed by the Clerk to keep up-to-date the certified copy of the
book containing the Code required to be filed in his or her office
for the use of the public. All changes in said Code and all ordinances
adopted subsequent to the effective date of this codification which
shall be adopted specifically as part of the Code shall, when finally
adopted, be included therein by reference until such changes or new
ordinances are printed as supplements to said Code book, at which
time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the Code, or any chapter or portion of it, may be
purchased from the Clerk, or an authorized agent of the Clerk, upon
the payment of a fee to be set by the Town Council, or may be furnished
electronically. The Clerk may also arrange for procedures for the
periodic supplementation of the Code.
It shall be unlawful for anyone to improperly change or amend, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code or to alter or tamper with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the law of the Town of Pinedale to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section or any part of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction, to the general penalty in Chapter 1, Article IV, General Penalty, of this Code.
Each section of the Code and every part of each section is an
independent section or part of a section, and the holding of any section
or a part thereof to be unconstitutional, void or ineffective for
any cause shall not be deemed to affect the validity or constitutionality
of any other sections or parts thereof.
Each section of this ordinance is an independent section, and
the holding of any section or part thereof to be unconstitutional,
void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the
validity or constitutionality of any other sections or parts thereof.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with the
provisions contained in the Code adopted by this ordinance are hereby
repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only be to the
extent of such inconsistency, and any valid legislation of the Town
of Pinedale which is not in conflict with the provisions of the Code
shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect.
