1-1-3: CATCHLINES OF SECTIONS:
The catchlines of the several sections of this code printed in boldface type 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. (1981 Code)
1-1-4: SEVERABILITY OF PARTS OF CODE:
Should any section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this code be declared invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the remaining words, phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs or sections of this code, since the same would have been enacted by the Board of Trustees without the incorporation in this code of any such invalid or unconstitutional word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section. (1981 Code)
1-1-5: GENERAL PENALTY; CONTINUING VIOLATIONS; PLACE OF CONFINEMENT:
Whenever in this code (or in any ordinance of the Village) any act is prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful or an offense, or whenever in such code (or ordinance) the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful, where no specific penalty is provided therefor, the violation of any such provision of this code (or any ordinance) shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00), or less than twenty dollars ($20.00). Each day any violation of any provision of this code (or of any ordinance) shall continue shall constitute a separate offense. Any person failing to pay any such fine shall be punished as provided in the Illinois municipal code. (Ord. 2000-0-12, 3-20-2000)
1-1-6: RECORD AND MEMORANDUM OF ORDINANCES:
All ordinances passed by the Board of Trustees shall be recorded by the Village Clerk in a proper book with indexes. The original shall be filed in the office of the Village Clerk, and due proof of publication of all ordinances requiring publication shall be procured by the Clerk, and such proof or affidavit of publication shall be attached to and filed away with the ordinances; and the Clerk shall also note in this book of ordinances, at the foot of the record of each ordinance, a memorandum of the date of the passage, and, if published or posted, of the date of the publication or posting of such ordinance. (1981 Code)
1-1-7: PROVISIONS CONSTRUED AS CONTINUATIONS OF EXISTING ORDINANCES:
The provisions appearing in this code, so far as they are substantially the same as those of the municipal code of the Village of Oak Park of 1957 and those of all other ordinances existing at the time of the adoption of this code, shall be construed as a continuation thereof and not as new enactments. (1981 Code)
