Pursuant to § 66.0103, Wis. Stats., the ordinances of the Village of Coloma of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Coloma, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code, and consisting of Chapters
1 through
480, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Code of the Village of Coloma," hereinafter 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,
including provisions of the 1994 Code, except such ordinances as are
hereinafter expressly saved from repeal or continued in force.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively
the same as those of the ordinances in force immediately prior to
the enactment of the Code by this ordinance, are intended as a continuation
of such ordinances and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness
of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior
ordinances.
A copy of the Code has been filed in the office of the Village
Clerk/Treasurer and shall remain there for use and examination by
the public for at least two weeks, in accordance with § 66.0103,
Wis. Stats., and 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/Treasurer, and such certified copy shall remain
on file in the office of said Village Clerk/Treasurer to be made available
to persons desiring to examine the same during all times while said
Code is in effect.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to the Code, when adopted in such form as to indicate the intention
of the Village Board to make them a part thereof, shall be deemed
to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the "Code of
the Village of Coloma" 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 adopted, they shall thereafter be inserted in the Code as amendments
and supplements thereto.
The Clerk/Treasurer of the Village of Coloma, pursuant to law,
shall cause to be published, in the manner required by law, a notice
of the adoption of this ordinance. Sufficient copies of the Code shall
be maintained in the office of the Clerk/Treasurer for inspection
by the public at all times during regular office hours. The publication
of notice of the enactment 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.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk/Treasurer, or someone
authorized and directed by the Clerk/Treasurer, to keep up-to-date
the certified copy of the Code required to be filed in the Clerk/Treasurer's
office for use by 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 included as supplements to said Code.
Copies of the Code, or any chapter or portion of it, may be
purchased from the Clerk/Treasurer or an authorized agent of the Clerk/Treasurer
upon the payment of a fee to be set by the Village Board. The Clerk/Treasurer
may 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 the Code or to alter or tamper with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the law of the Village of Coloma to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section or any part of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction, to a penalty as provided in §
1-2 of the Code.
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. If any provision of this Code
or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held
invalid, the remainder of this Code and the application of such provision
to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
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.
The adoption of this Code and the repeal of ordinances provided for in §
1-16 of this ordinance shall not affect the following ordinances, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:
