[Adopted 12-19-84 as Ord. No. 0-21-84]
Be it ordained by the Township Committee of the Township of
Winslow, County of Camden and State of New Jersey:
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the ordinances of the Township of Winslow of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Township Committee, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code Publishers Corp. and consisting of Chapters 1 through 298, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the Code of the Township of Winslow, 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 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 Township 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 Winslow 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 the said Code is in effect.
The Clerk of the Township of Winslow, 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 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 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 provisions of the Code for all purposes.
Any and all additions, amendments or supplements to the Code,
when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the intent of
the Township Committee 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 Winslow 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 thereto.
All ordinance of a general and permanent nature adopted subsequent to the date given in § 1-14A and prior to the effective date of this ordinance given in § 1-3 are hereby deemed to be a part of the Code and shall, upon being printed, be included therein. Attested copies of all such legislation shall be temporarily placed in the Code until printed supplements are included.
It shall be the duty of the Clerk, or someone authorized and
directed by him, to keep up-to-date the certified copy of the book
containing the Code required to be filed in his 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 apart 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 book containing the Code may be purchased
from the Clerk upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of
the Township Committee, which may also 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 such Code in any manner whatsoever which will
cause the law of the Township of Winslow to be misrepresented thereby.
Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall be subject,
upon conviction, to a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500.)
or imprisonment for not more than ninety (90) days, or both, in the
discretion of the Judge imposing the same.
A.
Severability of Code provisions. 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.
B.
Severability of ordinance provisions. Each section of this ordinance
is an independent section, and the holding of any section or part

All ordinances or parts of ordinances of a general and permanent
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 adoption ordinance, except as hereinafter provided.
