(A) As histories for the code sections, the specific number and passage date of the original ordinance, and amending ordinances, if any, are listed following the text of the code section. Example: (Ord. 10, passed 5-13-1960; Ord. 15, passed 1-1-1970; Ord. 20, passed 1-1-1980; Ord. 25, passed 1-1-1985)
(B) (1) If a statutory cite is included in the history, this indicates that the text of the section reads substantially the same as the statute. Example: (ILCS Ch. 5, Act 140, §§ 1 et seq.) (Ord. 10, passed 1-17-1980; Ord. 20, passed 1-1-1985)
(2) If a statutory cite is set forth as a “statutory reference” following the text of the section, this indicates that the reader should refer to that statute for further information. Example:
§ 38.04 PUBLIC RECORDS AVAILABLE.
The municipality shall make available to any person for inspection or copying all public records, unless otherwise exempted by state law.
Statutory reference:
Inspection of public records, see ILCS Ch. 5, Act. 140, §§ 1 et seq.
(C) If a section of this code is derived from the previous code of ordinances of the village published in a pervious year and subsequently amended, the prior code section number shall be indicated in the history by “(Prior Code, § ).”
