The ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village of Granville, as codified by General Code, LLC, and consisting of the Chapters
1 through
285, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Granville," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the ordinances and resolutions contained in the Code of the Village of Granville 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 Granville, 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 Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §
1-3 below.
All ordinances of a general and permanent nature of the Village
of Granville in force on the date of the adoption of this ordinance,
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are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of this ordinance.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 repeal of ordinances provided for in §
1-3 of this ordinance shall not affect the following classes of ordinances, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:

provision of the Village of Granville prior to the effective date

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter
or part of this ordinance or of any ordinance or resolution included
in this Code now or through supplementation shall be adjudged by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall
not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be
confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section,
article, chapter or part thereof directly involved in the controversy
in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the
office of the Village Clerk of the Village of Granville 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 Village Clerk of the Village
of Granville by impressing thereon the Seal of the Village of Granville,
and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of said
Village Clerk to be made available to persons desiring to examine
the same during all times while said Code is in effect. The enactment
and publication of this ordinance, coupled with the availability of
a copy 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.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to any of the ordinances and resolutions known collectively as the
"Code of the Village of Granville" or any new ordinances or resolutions,
when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention
of the Board of Trustees to be a part thereof, shall be deemed to
be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the Code shall
be understood and intended to include such additions, deletions, amendments
or supplements. Whenever such additions, deletions, amendments or
supplements to the Code shall be enacted or adopted, they shall thereafter
be published as amendments and supplements thereto. Nothing contained
in this ordinance shall affect the status of any ordinance or resolution
contained herein, and such ordinances or resolutions may be amended,
deleted or changed from time to time as the Board of Trustees deems
desirable.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to keep up-to-date
the certified copy of the book containing the Code of the Village
of Granville required to be filed in the office of the Village Clerk
for use by the public. All changes in said Code and all ordinances
and resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees subsequent to the
enactment of this ordinance in such form as to indicate the intention
of said Board of Trustees to be 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 published as supplements to said Code,
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 the Board of Trustees. The
Clerk may also arrange for procedures for the periodic 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 Granville or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Village of Granville 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 subject to penalties as set forth in Chapter
1, Article
II, of the Code. The court may, in addition to assessing a fine, impose a requirement that the defendant perform some reasonable public service work such as, but not limited to, the picking up of litter in public parks or along public streets or highways or the maintenance of public facilities.
In compiling and preparing the ordinances and resolutions for
publication as the Code of the Village of Granville, no changes in
the meaning or intent of such ordinances and resolutions have been
made. In addition, certain grammatical changes, administrative changes,
and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or more of
said pieces of legislation. It is the intention of the Board of Trustees
that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances
and resolutions had been previously formally amended to read as such.
The provisions of this ordinance are hereby made Article
I of Chapter
1 of the Code of the Village of Granville, such local law to be entitled "General Provisions, Article
I, Adoption of Code," and the sections of this ordinance shall be numbered §§
1-1 to
1-13, inclusive.
This ordinance shall be in full force and effect 10 days following
publication as provided by law.
