Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the ordinances of the Board of Health of the City of Englewood of a general and permanent nature, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 450 through 534, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Part III, Board of Health Legislation, of the Code of the City of Englewood," hereinafter known and referred to as the "Part III of the City Code."
This ordinance and Part III of the City Code shall supersede all other general and permanent Board of Health 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 Ordinance No. 2003-02, adopted by the Board of Health on November 10, 2003, which provided for the adoption of the 2003 Revised Health Code of the City of Englewood.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage and publication according to law.
A copy of Part III of the City Code in loose-leaf form has been filed in the office of the Secretary of the Board of Health 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 Secretary of the Board of Health of the City of Englewood by impressing thereon the Seal of the City, as provided by law, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of the Secretary of the Board of Health, to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same during all times while Part III of the City Code is in effect.
Any and all additions, amendments or supplements to Part III of the City Code, when passed and adopted by the Board of Health 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 the City Code so that reference to the "Part III of the City Code of the City of Englewood" 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 of the City of Englewood, pursuant to law, shall cause this Adopting Ordinance to be published, in the manner required, in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. Sufficient copies of Part III of the City Code shall be maintained in the office of the Secretary 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 Part III of the City 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 someone authorized and directed by the Secretary to keep up-to-date the certified copy of the book containing Part III of the City 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 Part III of the City Code, or any chapter or portion of it, may be purchased from the Secretary, or an authorized agent of the Secretary, upon the payment of a fee authorized by the City. The Secretary shall also arrange for procedures for the periodic supplementation of Part III of the City 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 City 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 City of Englewood to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section or any part of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction, to a fine of not more than $1,000 plus imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a period of community service not exceeding 90 days, in the discretion of the Judge imposing the same.
Each section of Part III of the City 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.
