LEGAL STATUS PROVISIONS
This chapter in part comes forward by re-enactment of some of the provisions of the flood damage prevention ordinance enacted 5-12-1998, as amended, and it is not the intention to repeal but rather to re-enact and continue to enforce without interruption of the existing provisions, so that all rights and liabilities that have accrued thereunder are reserved and may be enforced. The enactment of this chapter shall not affect any action, suit, or proceeding instituted or pending. All provisions of the flood damage prevention ordinance of the town enacted on 5-12-1998 as amended, which are not re-enacted herein are repealed.
