[Adopted 11-10-2016 by Ord. No. BOH-2016-2]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the Board of Health ordinances of the Borough of Wood-Ridge of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Board of Health of the Borough of Wood-Ridge, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 535 through 595, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as "Part III of the Code of the Borough of Wood-Ridge," hereinafter known and referred to as the "Code."
This article and the Code shall supersede all other general
and permanent Board of Health ordinances enacted prior to the enactment
of this Code, except such Board of Health ordinances as are hereinafter
expressly saved from repeal or continued in force.
This article shall take effect immediately upon passage and
publication according to law.
A copy of the Code in loose-leaf form has been filed in the
office of the Borough Clerk and/or the Board of Health Secretary and
shall remain there for use and examination by the public until final
action is taken on this article; and, if this article shall be adopted,
such copy shall be certified to by the Secretary of the Board of Health
of the Borough of Wood-Ridge, as provided by law, and such certified
copy shall remain on file in the office of the Board of Health Secretary
and/or Clerk of the Borough, to be made available to persons desiring
to examine the same during all times while said Code is in effect.
Any and all additions, amendments or supplements to Part III
of the Code, when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the
intent of the Board of Health to make them a part thereof, shall be
deemed to be incorporated into Part III of such Code so that reference
to the "Code of the Borough of Wood-Ridge" 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.
The Secretary of the Board of Health or the Clerk of the Borough
of Wood-Ridge, pursuant to law, shall cause this Adopting Ordinance
to be published, in the manner required, in a newspaper of general
circulation in the Borough. Sufficient copies of the Code shall be
maintained in the office of the Secretary or 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 Secretary of the Board of Health
or the Clerk of the Borough of Wood-Ridge, or someone authorized and
directed by the Secretary or 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 of the Borough of Wood-Ridge, or an authorized
agent of the Clerk, upon the payment of a fee authorized by the Borough.
The Clerk shall 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 Part III of the
Code or to alter or tamper with such Code in any manner whatsoever
which will cause the law of the Board of Health of the Borough of
Wood-Ridge to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section
or any part of this article shall be subject, upon conviction, to
a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $500.
Each section of Part III 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 article 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.
