PREFACE

   The City of Lovington, New Mexico Code of Ordinances, originally published by Book Publishing Company in 1992, was kept current by regular supplementation by Matthew Bender & Company, Inc., its successor in interest until December 2008. Subsequently, updates have been provided by American Legal Publishing Corporation.

   During original codification, the ordinances were compiled, edited and indexed under the direction of James E. Snipes, 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 2.12.040 is Section .040, located in Chapter 2.12 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 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 Ordinance 600, passed August 14, 2023.
