[Adopted 1-6-1992 by Ord. No. 171-92]
The compilation of the Town Charter and ordinances
of the Town of Rocky Hill, codified and consolidated into parts, chapters
and sections in the form attached hereto and made a part hereof, is
hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the "Code of the
Town of Rocky Hill, Connecticut," hereinafter called the "Code." All
provisions contained in the compilation provided for herein and known
as the "Code of the Town of Rocky Hill" shall be in force and effect
on and after the effective date of this ordinance.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they
are substantively the same as those 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 Town Council.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances of the
Town of Rocky Hill of a general and permanent nature in force on the
date of the adoption of this ordinance which are inconsistent with
any provisions of the Code are hereby repealed from and after the
effective date of this ordinance; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall be construed as repealing or altering the zoning, subdivision
or inland wetlands regulations of the Town.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section,
article or part of this ordinance or of any ordinance appearing in
the Code or included in this Code 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 or part thereof directly involved in the controversy
in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments
or supplements to the Town Charter or to any of the ordinances known
collectively as the "Code of the Town of Rocky Hill," or any new ordinances,
when enacted or adopted in such form as to indicate the intention
of the Town Council 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 printed
and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the loose-leaf book containing
said Code, as amendments and supplements thereto. Nothing contained
in this ordinance shall affect the status of the Charter or any ordinance
contained herein, and such ordinances may be amended, deleted or changed
from time to time as the Town Council deems desirable.
Copies of the Code may be purchased from the
Town Clerk of the Town of Rocky Hill upon the payment of a fee to
be set by resolution of the Town Council, which Board may also arrange
by resolution for procedures for the periodic supplementation thereof.
Any person who, without authorization from the
Town Clerk, changes or amends, by additions or deletions, any part
or portion of the Code of the Town of Rocky Hill, or who alters or
tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the
legislation of the Town of Rocky Hill to be misrepresented thereby,
or who violates any other provision of this ordinance, shall be guilty
of an offense and shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a
fine of not more than $90.
This ordinance shall be effective after adoption
and 30 days after publication according to the Town Charter.
