§ 1-6 Changes and revisions in previously adopted ordinances; new provisions.
§ 1-16 Inclusion of ordinance in Code.
Pursuant to Section 1008(b) of the Borough Code [53 P.S. § 46008(b)], the codification of a complete body of ordinances for the Borough of Baldwin, County of Allegheny, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as revised, codified and consolidated into titles, chapters and sections by General Code Publishers Corp. and consisting of Chapters 1 through 173, is hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as a single ordinance of the Borough of Baldwin, which shall be known and is hereby designated as the "Code of the Borough of Baldwin," hereinafter referred to as the "Code."
The provisions of this Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment of 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 Borough Council of the Borough of Baldwin, and it is the intention of said Council that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reenacted and reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below, and only new or changed provisions, as described in § 1-6 below, shall be deemed to be enacted from the effective date of this Code, as provided in § 1-15 below.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances of a general and permanent nature adopted by the Borough of Baldwin and in force on the date of the adoption of this Code and not contained in the Code are hereby repealed as of the effective date given in § 1-15 below, except as hereinafter provided.
Any ordinance adopted subsequent to September 17, 1984.
Any prosecution, indictment, action, suit or other proceeding pending, or any judgment rendered, prior to the effective date of this ordinance, brought pursuant to any legislative provision of the Borough.
Any ordinance providing for or requiring the construction or reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs and gutters.
Any ordinance establishing water, sewer or other special purpose districts and designating the boundaries thereof; or providing for a system of sewers or water supply lines; or providing for the construction, extension, dedication, acceptance or abandonment of any part of a system of sewers or water supply lines; or authorizing the execution and delivery of agreements of leases between the Municipal Authority and the Borough of Baldwin.
Any ordinance amending the zoning regulations or Zoning Map.
All ordinances of a general and permanent nature adopted subsequent to the date given in § 1-4A and/or prior to the date of adoption of this ordinance, are hereby deemed to be a part of the Code and shall, upon being printed, be included therein. Attested copies of all such legislation shall be temporarily placed in the Code until printed supplements are included.
Nonsubstantive grammatical changes. In compiling and preparing the ordinances of the Borough for adoption and revision as part of the Code, certain nonsubstantive grammatical and style changes were made in one or more of said ordinances. It is the intention of the Council that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances so changed had been previously formally amended to read as such.
General deletions. Sections pertaining to severability, effective dates and repeals have been deleted since such provisions are included in this ordinance or are of no further effect.
Substantive changes and revisions. In addition to the changes and revisions described above, the following changes and revisions of a substantive nature are hereby made to various ordinances included in the Code. These changes are made to bring provisions into conformity with the desired policies of the Council, and it is the intent of the Council that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances so changed have been previously formally amended to read as such. All such changes and revisions shall be deemed to be in effect as of the effective date of the Code specified in § 1-15.
Editor's Note: A complete description of these changes is on file in the office of the Borough Secretary.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to the Code, when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the 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 changes. 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 post-bound book containing said Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Secretary, or someone authorized and directed by him or her, to keep up-to-date the certified copies of the book containing the Code required to be filed in the office of the Borough Secretary for the use of the public. All changes in said Code and all ordinances adopted by the Council subsequent to the effective date of this codification which the Council shall adopt 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 books, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
It shall be unlawful for anyone to improperly change or amend, by additions or deletions, or to alter or tamper with the Code, or any part or portion thereof, in any manner whatsoever, which will cause the law of the Borough to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $300 plus costs of prosecution, collectible as provided by law, or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 30 days; provided, however, that if the District Justice determines that the defendant is without financial means to pay the fines and costs immediately or in a single remittance, such defendant be permitted to pay the fines or costs in installments and over such periods of time as the District Justice deems to be just.
The provisions of this ordinance and of the Code adopted hereby are severable, and if any clause, sentence, subsection, section, article or part thereof shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unconstitutional, such judgment or decision shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its operation and application to the clause, sentence, subsection, section, article or part thereof rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the Council that this ordinance and the Code would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or unconstitutional clause, sentence, subsection, section, article or part thereof had not been included therein.
All provisions of this ordinance and of the Code shall be in force and effect on and after December 19, 1985.
This ordinance shall be included in the Code as Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article I.
