The ordinances of the Town of Bridgeville, County of Sussex, State of Delaware, of a general and permanent nature, adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Bridgeville, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code Publishers Corp. and consisting of Chapters
1 through
234, together with an Appendix, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the Code of the Town of Bridgeville, hereinafter known and referred to as the "Code."
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they
are substantively the same as those of 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 Board of Commissioners of the Town of Bridgeville, and it is
the intention of said Board of Commissioners that each such provision
contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in the
Code.
A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has
been filed in the office of the Town Clerk of the Town of Bridgeville
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 Town Clerk of the
Town of Bridgeville by impressing thereon the Seal of the town, and
such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of said Town
Clerk to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same
during all times when said Code is in effect.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments
or supplements to the Code or any new ordinances, when enacted or
adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Board of
Commissioners 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.
It shall be the duty of the Town Clerk or such
other authorized person to keep up-to-date the certified copy of the
book containing the Code of the Town of Bridgeville required to be
filed in the office of the Town Clerk for use by the public. All changes
in said Code and all ordinances adopted by the Board of Commissioners
subsequent to the enactment of this ordinance in such form as to indicate
the intention of said Board of Commissioners to be a part of said
Code shall, when finally enacted or adopted, be included therein by
temporary attachment of copies of such changes or ordinances until
such changes or ordinances are printed as supplements to said Code
book, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent
with the provisions contained in the Code adopted by this ordinance
are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only
be to the extent of such inconsistency, and any valid legislation
of the Town of Bridgeville which is not in conflict with the provisions
of the Code shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect.
The provisions of this ordinance are hereby made Article
I of Chapter
1 of the Code of the Town of Bridgeville, and the sections shall be numbered §§
1-1 through
1-10, inclusive.
All provisions of the Code shall be in full
force and effect on and after the effective date of this ordinance,
which shall take effect immediately upon its final adoption.
