No. 2014-1783]
The ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village of Flossmoor, as codified by General Code, LLC, and consisting of the Chapters 1 through 277, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the " Village of Flossmoor Municipal Code," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the ordinances and resolutions contained in the Village of Flossmoor Municipal Code to any other ordinance or resolution appearing in said Code, such reference shall be changed to the appropriate chapter title, chapter number, article number or section number where such legislation appears in the Code, as if such ordinance or resolution had been formally amended to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this ordinance, are intended as a continuation of such ordinances and resolutions and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior ordinance or resolution. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Flossmoor, and it is the intention of said Board that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-1-3 below.
All ordinances of a general and permanent nature of the Village

inconsistent with the provisions contained therein, and not contained
in such Code or recognized and continued in force by reference therein
are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of this ordinance.

the same during all times while said Code is in effect. The enactment
and publication of this ordinance, coupled with the availability of

of the Code for all purposes.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to any of the ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the

a part of said Code shall, when finally enacted or adopted, be included
therein by temporary attachment of copies of such changes, ordinances
or resolutions until such changes, ordinances or resolutions 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 Village Clerk, or an authorized agent of the Clerk,
upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of the Board of

supplementation of the Code.
Any person who, without authorization from the Village Clerk, changes or amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of the Village of Flossmoor or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Village of Flossmoor to be misrepresented thereby or who violates any other provision of this ordinance shall be guilty of an offense and shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined as set forth in Chapter 150, Article I, of the Village Code.
