PREFACE

This volume contains the Code of General Ordinances of the City of Boonville, Missouri, being a republication of the ordinances and resolutions of a general and permanent nature of the City of Boonville, and the ordinances and resolutions amendatory thereof and appropriate for inclusion followed by a comparative table giving the disposition of each ordinance and resolution.

Said volume is the first codification since 1958, and as expressed in the Adopting Ordinance, supersedes all ordinances and resolutions not included herein or expressly saved from repeal by the Adopting Ordinance or the provisions of the Code. Special ordinances or resolutions or those dealing with only a portion of the inhabitants of the City, rather than all of them or relating to special purposes, such as ordinances levying special assessments, providing for bond issues, paving, vacating and opening specified streets, changing street names, granting franchises, etc., are not included herein. For a more specific enumeration of the types of ordinances or resolutions not included, see Section 3 of the Adopting Ordinance.

The ordinances and resolutions have been classified as to subject matter, edited, revised and in many instances rewritten. It should be observed that the chapters have been arranged in alphabetical sequence and the various sections within each chapter have been catchlined to facilitate usage. Attention is also invited to the footnotes which tie related sections of the Code together and which also refer to relevant state laws.

The source of a section is included in the history note enclosed in parentheses at the end of such section. The absence of a history note indicates that the section is new and was adopted for the first time with the adoption of this Code.

The numbering system used in this Code is the same system used in many state and municipal codes. Each section number consists of two component parts separated by a dash, the figure before the dash referring to the chapter number and the figure after the dash referring to the position of the section within the chapter. Thus, the first section of Chapter 1 of the Code is numbered 1-1 and the fourteenth section of Chapter 21 is 21-14. Under this system, each section is identified with its chapter and, at the same time, new sections may be inserted in their proper places simply by using the decimal system for amendments. By way of illustration: If new material consisting of three sections that would logically come between Sections 4-15 and 4-16 is desired to be added, the new sections would be numbered 4-15.1, 4-15.2 and 4-15.3, respectively. New chapters may be included by the addition of a decimal after the chapter number, e.g., new material may be included between Chapters 12 and 13, by designating it as Chapter 12.1. Care should be taken that the alphabetical arrangement of chapters is maintained when including new chapters. New articles and new divisions may be included in the same manner, or in the case of articles, may be placed at the end of the chapter embracing the subject, and in the case of divisions, may be placed at the end of the article embracing the subject, the next successive number being assigned to the article or division, as the case may be.

A special feature of this volume to which the attention of the user is particularly invited is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental servicing for the Code. With this looseleaf system, this volume may be kept up-to-date periodically. Amendatory ordinances upon final passage of the City can be edited and the appropriate page or pages affected reprinted for insertion in the Code. In such event, the new or reprinted pages then shall be distributed to the holders of the Code with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages. To each amendment will be attached an amendment or editorial note explaining briefly the effect of the amendment upon the section or sections amended and the derivation of such amendment. Each such subsequent amendment, when incorporated into this Code, may be cited as a part hereof as provided in Section 5 of the Adopting Ordinance.

The index has been prepared with the greatest of care. Each index entry has been placed under several headings, some being couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology and still others in language generally used by city officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the index which are intended as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which he is interested. Additions, alterations and deletions in the index will be accomplished in the same manner as is provided for additions, alterations and deletions to the substantive provisions of this publication.

The successful maintenance of the Code up-to-date at all times depends upon the holder of the volume. As revised sheets are received it shall then become the responsibility of the holder to insert the amendments according to the accompanying instructions.

It is earnestly recommended by the publishers that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacement, and that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference purposes.

The publishers are most grateful to Mary McAllister, City Clerk, for her cooperation and assistance and for the interest shown by her in the preparation of the manuscript of this publication. Credit is gratefully acknowledged also to the members of the publisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout this project.

This publication was under the direct supervision of Eric Grant, Vice President, Supplement Department, and Peggy Lamar, Editor, of Municipal Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida, and is presented for the use and benefit of the citizens of the City of Boonville.
