PREFACE

   The Custer City Municipal Code, originally published by Book Publishing Company in 1996, has been kept current by regular supplementation by Matthew Bender & Company, Inc., its successor in interest, and by American Legal Publishing beginning in 2009.

   During original codification, the ordinances were compiled, edited and indexed under the direction of Robert Anderson, city attorney.

   The code is organized by subject matter under an expandable three-factor decimal numbering system which is designed to facilitate supplementation without disturbing the numbering of existing provisions. Each section number designates, in sequence, the numbers of the title, chapter, and section. Thus, Section 2.04.010 is Section .010, located in Chapter 2.04 of Title 2. In most instances, sections are numbered by tens (.010, .020, .030, etc.), leaving nine vacant positions between original sections to accommodate future provisions. Similarly, chapters and titles are numbered to provide for internal expansion.

   In parentheses following each section is a legislative history identifying the specific sources for the provisions of that section. This legislative history is complemented by a prior code cross-reference table, which sets out the location of individual sections of the prior code, and an ordinance disposition table, following the text of the code, listing by number all ordinances, their subjects, and where they appear in the codification.

   A subject-matter index, with complete cross-referencing, locates specific code provisions by individual section numbers.

   This supplement brings the code up to date through February 20, 2024, with Ordinance 912, passed 2-20-2024.
