[Adopted 12-15-1998 by Ord. No. 98-1526]
Be it enacted and ordained by the Common Council
of the City of Franklin, County of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin,
and it is enacted and ordained as follows:
|
The various chapters and sections of the 1997 Code of Ordinances of the City of Franklin, and subsequent ordinances of the City of Franklin of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Common Council of the City of Franklin, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code Publishers Corp., and consisting of Chapters
1 through
249, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Code of the City of Franklin," hereinafter referred to as the "Code."
This ordinance and the Code shall supersede
the 1997 Code of Ordinances of the City of Franklin and 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 legislation in force immediately
prior to the enactment of the Code by this ordinance, are intended
as a continuation of such legislation and not as new enactments, and
the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption
of the prior legislation.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately
upon passage and publication according to law.
[Amended 3-5-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-1708]
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has
been filed in the office of the City 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 City Clerk, and such certified copy shall
remain on file in the office of said City Clerk to be made available
to persons desiring to examine the same 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 Common Council to make them a part thereof, shall
be deemed to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the
"Code of the City of Franklin" 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 adopted, they shall thereafter be printed and, as provided hereunder,
inserted in the loose-leaf book containing said Code as amendments
and supplements thereto.
[Amended 3-5-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-1708]
The City Clerk of the City of Franklin, pursuant
to law, shall cause to be published, in the manner required by law,
a copy of this Adoption Ordinance. Sufficient copies of the Code shall
be maintained in the office of the City Clerk for inspection by the
public at all times during regular office hours. 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.
[Amended 3-5-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-1708]
It shall be the duty of the City Clerk, or someone
authorized and directed by the City Clerk, to keep up-to-date the
certified copy of the book containing the Code required to be filed
in the City 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 printed as supplements to
said Code book, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
[Amended 3-5-2002 by Ord. No. 2002-1708]
Copies of the Code may be purchased from the
City Clerk upon the payment of a fee to be set by the Common Council,
and the Common Council may also arrange 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 City of Franklin to be misrepresented
thereby. Anyone violating this section or any part of this ordinance
shall be subject, upon conviction, to a fine of not more than $500,
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.
