This ordinance and the Code shall supersede all other general and permanent

as are hereinafter expressly saved from repeal or continued in force.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage and publication
according to law.
A copy of the Code in loose-leaf form has been filed in the office of
the Township 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 Township of
Pittsgrove by impressing thereon the Seal of the Township, as provided by
law, and such certified copy shall remain on file in the office of the Clerk
of the Township, to be made available to persons desiring to examine the same
during all times while said Code is in effect.
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 Township of Pittsgrove”
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 said Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.
The Clerk of the Township of Pittsgrove, 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 Township. Sufficient copies 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 publication
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.
It shall be the duty of the Clerk, or someone authorized and directed
by the Clerk, 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 resolution of the Township Committee,
which may also arrange, by resolution, for procedures for the periodic supplementation
thereof.
