§ 1-4. Amendments to Code; effect of new ordinances; amendatory language.

(a)

All ordinances passed subsequent to the adoption of this Code which amend, repeal or in any way affect this Code may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this Code and printed for inclusion in this Code. In the case of repealed chapters, sections or subsections or any part thereof by subsequent ordinances, such repealed portions may be excluded from the Code by the omission thereof from reprinted pages affected thereby. The subsequent ordinances as numbered and printed or as omitted, in the case of repeal, shall be prima facie evidence of such subsequent ordinances until such time that this Code and subsequent ordinances numbered or omitted are readopted as a new code of ordinances by the village board.

(b)

Amendments to any of the provisions of this Code shall be made by amending such provisions by specific reference to the section number of this Code in the following language: "Section ____________ of the Code of Ordinances, Village of Cherry Valley, Illinois is hereby amended to read as follows:…."

The new provisions shall then be set out in full.

(c)

If a new section not then existing in the Code is to be added, the following language shall be used: "The Code of Ordinances, Village of Cherry Valley, Illinois is hereby amended by adding a section (or article or chapter) to be numbered ____________ , which section (or article or chapter) reads as follows:…." The provisions shall then be set out in full.

(d)

All sections, articles, chapters or provisions of this Code desired to be repealed must be specifically repealed by section, article or chapter number, as the case may be.

(e)

Two official copies of this Code shall be maintained so that all amendments thereto and all general ordinances thereafter passed may be posted and inserted in their proper places within the Code. One of the copies shall be maintained by the village clerk and the other by the village attorney. In case of any doubt as to whether a new ordinance is a general ordinance, the village clerk shall be guided by the advice of the village attorney.
