[Adopted 11-5-2018 by Ord. No. 2018-07]
The ordinances of the Village of Sidney, as codified by General Code, LLC, and consisting of Chapters
1 through
250, together with an Appendix, shall be known collectively as the "Code of the Village of Sidney," hereafter termed the "Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the ordinances contained in the Code of the Village of Sidney to any other ordinance 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 had been formally amended to so read.
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 ordinance. 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 Sidney, 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 Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §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 Sidney 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are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of this ordinance.

1-3 of this ordinance shall not affect the following classes of ordinances, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:

If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article, chapter
or part of this ordinance or of any ordinance 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 Sidney 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 Sidney by impressing thereon the Seal of the Village of Sidney,
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 known collectively as the "Code of the Village
of Sidney" or any new ordinances, when enacted or adopted in such
form as to indicate the intention of the Village Board 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 and, as
provided hereunder, inserted in the Code as amendments and supplements
thereto. Nothing contained in this ordinance shall affect the status

purchased from the Village Clerk, or an authorized agent of the Clerk,
upon the payment of a fee to be set from time to time by the Village
Board. 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 Sidney or who alters or tampers with
such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation
of the Village of Sidney to be misrepresented thereby or who violates
any other provision of this ordinance shall be fined an amount not
exceeding $750.
