FOREWORD

History

   This comprises the codification of the ordinances of the Borough of Yoe. The Borough of Yoe was originally settled in 1815 and was incorporated as a Borough on October 23, 1893, from parts of York Township.

   The Code of Ordinances of the Borough of Yoe was prepared by Keystate Publishers, Inc., and adopted by the Borough of Yoe Borough Council on February 1, 2011, by Ord. 2011-01.

Organization

   The Code contains four parts which are (1) the valid current ordinances of the Borough of Yoe contained in Chapters 1 through 27, (2) the Appendix, which lists by abstracted title all ordinances of a temporary or “one time” nature, (3) the Table of disposition of each ordinance ever enacted by the Borough of Yoe, and (4) the Index, which is an alphabetical arrangement of subjects.

   In the Code each Chapter is separated by a divider tab, and specific ordinances can be located by subject on the contents page at the beginning of each Chapter. The Index may also be used to search for a subject when one is looking for general information on a particular subject, or if it is not known in which Chapter the subject might be found. The Appendix consists of several general categories containing a chronological listing of short subject descriptions along with a reference to the original ordinance and its date of enactment, if known.

   The Table of disposition indicates what action has been taken by the Borough of Yoe Borough Council with regard to every ordinance ever enacted. An ordinance has either been (1) specifically repealed, (2) superseded by another ordinance, (3) is located in a Chapter of the Code book, or (4) is located in the Appendix. Annual tax rate and budget ordinances are located only in the Table of Disposition. The Table of Disposition is a cross reference to the original ordinance books of the Borough of Yoe, and to the location within the Code of each ordinance by number.
