A.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:49-4, the ordinances of the Borough of Madison, of a general and permanent nature, adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Madison, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of Chapters 1 through 200, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Code of the Borough of Madison, Parts I and II," which, together with the Board of Health ordinances adopted as the "Code of the Borough of Madison, Part III," and an Appendix, shall hereinafter be known and referred to as the "Code."
B.
Insofar as the provisions contained in Parts I and II
of this Code are substantially the same as provisions contained in the "Revised
Ordinances of Madison, New Jersey - 1970," as adopted May 11, 1970, by Ordinance
No. 9-70, this revision, codification and consolidation shall be deemed a
recodification of the Revised Ordinances of Madison, New Jersey - 1970 and
is intended as a continuation of the provisions contained in said Revised
Ordinances.
This ordinance and the Code shall supersede all other general and permanent
ordinances enacted prior to the enactment of this Code, including the Revised
Ordinances of Madison, New Jersey - 1970, 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 July 4, 1976.
A copy of the Code in loose-leaf form has been filed in the office of
the Borough 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 Borough of
Madison by impressing thereon the seal of the Borough, as provided by law,
and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of the Clerk of
the Borough 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 Borough of Madison, 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 Borough. Sufficient copies of the
Code shall be maintained in the office of the Borough Clerk for inspection
by the public at all times during regular office hours. The enactment and
application 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.
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 Borough of Madison" 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 ordinances of a general and permanent nature adopted subsequent to the date given in § 1-14A and/or prior to the date of adoption of this ordinance 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 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 book containing the Code may be purchased from the
Clerk upon the payment of a fee to be set by ordinance of the Mayor and Council,
who 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 Borough of Madison to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction, to the penalties provided in § 1-15 of this ordinance.
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 section or part 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.
