The compilation of the Special Acts and ordinances of a general and permanent nature of the Town of Putnam, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters and sections by General Code LLC, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 314, together with an Appendix, is hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as the “Code of the Town of Putnam, Connecticut,” hereinafter called the “Code.” All provisions contained in the compilation provided for herein and known as the “Code of the Town of Putnam” shall be in force and effect on and after the effective date of this ordinance.
§ 1-3. Copy of Code on file.
§ 1-4. Publication; filing.
The Clerk of the Town of Putnam shall cause to be published, in the manner required by law, a copy of this Adoption Ordinance. 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 ordinance, coupled with the availability of a copy 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.
§ 1-5. Amendments to Code.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to the Code, when adopted in such form as to indicate the intention of the Town to make them a part thereof, shall be deemed to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the “Code of the Town of Putnam” 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 adopted, they shall thereafter be included in the Code as amendments and supplements thereto.
§ 1-6. Code to be kept up-to-date.
It shall be the duty of the Town 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 the Clerk’s office for use by 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.
A. Supplements to this Code shall be prepared whenever authorized or directed by the Board of Selectmen. A supplement to the Code shall include all substantive permanent and general parts of ordinances passed by the Town and all changes made thereby in the Code.
B. When preparing a supplement to this Code, the codifier (meaning the person, agency or organization authorized to prepare the supplement) may make formal, nonsubstantive changes in ordinances and parts of ordinances included in the supplement, insofar as it is necessary to do so to embody them into the unified Code. For example, the codifier may:
(1) Organize the ordinance material into appropriate subsections;
(2) Provide appropriate headings and titles for sections and other subdivisions of the Code included in the supplement, and make changes in such headings and titles;
(3) Assign appropriate numbers to chapters and sections to be inserted in the Code and, where necessary to accommodate new material, change existing or other section numbers;
(4) Change the words “this ordinance” or words of the same meaning to “this chapter,” “this article,” “this section,” etc., as the case may be, or to “§§ to “ (inserting section numbers to indicate the sections of the Code which embody the substantive sections of the ordinance incorporated into the Code); and
(5) Make other nonsubstantive changes necessary to preserve the original meaning of ordinance sections inserted into the Code; but in no case shall the codifier make any change in the meaning or effect of ordinance material included in the supplement or already in the Code.
§ 1-8. Sale of Code.
§ 1-9. Altering or tampering with Code; penalties for violation.
It shall be unlawful for anyone to improperly change or amend, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code or to alter or tamper with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the law of the Town of Putnam to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section or any part of this ordinance shall be subject, upon conviction, to a fine of not more than $250.
A. Severability of Code provisions. Each section of the Code and every part of each section is an independent section or part of a section, and the holding of any section or a part thereof to be unconstitutional, void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the validity or constitutionality of any other sections or parts thereof.
B. Severability of ordinance provisions. Each section of this ordinance is an independent section, and the holding of any section or part thereof to be unconstitutional, void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the validity or constitutionality of any other sections or parts thereof.

§ 1-14. Changes in previously adopted ordinances.
A. In compiling and preparing the ordinances for publication as the Code of the Town of Putnam, no changes in the meaning or intent of such ordinances have been made, except as provided for in Subsection B hereof. Certain grammatical changes and other minor nonsubstantive changes were made in one or more of said pieces of legislation. It is the intention of the Town that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances had been previously formally amended to read as such.
B. In addition, the amendments and/or additions as set forth in Schedule A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, are made herewith, to become effective upon the effective date of this ordinance.

§ 1-15. Catchlines, histories and references.
A. The catchlines of the several sections of this Code are intended as mere catchwords to indicate the contents of the section and shall not be deemed or taken to be titles of such sections nor as any part of the section, nor, unless expressly so provided, shall they be so deemed when any of such sections, including the catchlines, are amended or reenacted.
B. The histories appearing in brackets after sections and subsections and the references and notes located throughout the Code are for the benefit of the user of the Code and shall have no legal effect.
