City as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 2-12-2007 by Ord. No. 3-2007]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the ordinances of the City of Corbin City of a general and permanent nature, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by Richard A. Russell, Esquire, and consisting of Chapters 1 to 103, inclusive, together with an Appendix, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the Code of the City of Corbin City, hereinafter known and referred to as the "Code".
This ordinance and the Code shall supersede all other 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.
All provisions of this ordinance and the Code shall be in full
force and effect on and after March 12, 2007.
A copy of the Code in loose-leaf form has been filed in the
office of the City 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 by the
City Clerk of the City of Corbin City 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 City Clerk, 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 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 City of Corbin City" 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 the said Code, as amendments and supplements hereto.
The City Clerk of the City of Corbin City, 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 City.
Sufficient copies of the Code shall be maintained in the office of
the City Clerk for inspection by the public at all times during regular
office hours. The enactment and publication of this Adopting Ordinance,
coupled with the 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 the provisions of the Code for all purposes,
and in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:49-4.
It shall be the duty of the City Clerk to keep up to date the
certified copy of the book containing the Code required to be filed
in the Clerk's 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 supplement shall be inserted
therein.
Copies of Code book containing the Code may be purchased from
the City Clerk upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of
the Common Council, who may arrange, by resolution, for procedures
for the periodic supplementation thereof.
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 the Code in any manner whatsoever which will
cause the law of the City of Corbin City to be misrepresented thereby.
Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall be subject,
upon conviction, to a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment for
not more than 90 days, or both, in the discretion of the Judge imposing
the same.
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.

nature, adopted and in force on the date of the adoption of this ordinance
and not contained in the Code, are hereby repealed as of the effective
date of this Adopting Ordinance, except as hereinafter provided.
