[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of
the Village of Shorewood as indicated in article histories. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 2-25-2008 by Ord. No. 1935]
Pursuant to § 66.0103 Wis. Stats., the ordinances of the Village of Shorewood of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Shorewood, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 535, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the “Code of the Village of Shorewood,” 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, 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 and shall remain there for inspection 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, the Code shall remain on file
in the office of said Village Clerk available for public inspection
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 Shorewood” shall be understood
and intended to include such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements.
The Clerk of the Village of Shorewood, pursuant
to law, shall cause to be posted, in the manner required by law, a
copy of this Adoption Ordinance. A copy 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 posting 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, or
someone authorized and directed by the Clerk, to keep up-to-date the
Code required to be filed in the Clerk’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 incorporated
as supplements to said Code.
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 to be set by the Village Board. The
Clerk 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 Code of the Village of Shorewood 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 § 115-1 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 the 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.
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.
