[Adopted 3-13-2018 by Ord. No. MC3635]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the ordinances of the Township of Irvington of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Municipal Council of the Township of Irvington, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 650, together with an Appendix, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Code of the Township of Irvington," 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. This ordinance specifically repeals the Revised
Code of the Town of Irvington, adopted January 13, 1981, by Ord. No.
MC 2622, as amended and supplemented; provided, however, that the
Municipal Court is authorized to enforce ordinances as numbered and
codified in the 1981 Revised Code or in this recodified Code of the
Township of Irvington. Chapter and section numbers in the 1981 Revised
Code, as amended and supplemented, may be referenced in enforcement
proceedings.
This ordinance 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 Municipal 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 to
by the Clerk of the Township of Irvington by impressing thereon the
Seal of the Township, as provided by law, and such certified copy
shall remain on file in the office of the Clerk of the Township, 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
Township of Irvington" 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 Municipal Clerk of the Township of Irvington, pursuant to
law, shall cause this Adopting Ordinance to be published, in the manner
required, in a newspaper of general circulation in the Township. Sufficient
copies of the Code shall be maintained in the office of the 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 Municipal Clerk or someone authorized
and directed by the 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, or an authorized agent of the Clerk, upon
the payment of a fee authorized by the Township. 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 the Code or to alter
or tamper with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause
the law of the Township of Irvington to be misrepresented thereby.
Anyone violating this section or any part of this ordinance shall
be subject, upon conviction, to one or more of the following: a fine
of not more than $2,000, 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 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.
