PREFACE

This Code constitutes a codification of the general and permanent ordinances of the City of Verona, Wisconsin.

Source materials used in the preparation of the Code were the Verona Code, as supplemented, and ordinances subsequently adopted by the common council. The source of each section is included in the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The absence of such a note indicates that the section is new and was adopted for the first time with the adoption of the Code. By use of the comparative tables appearing in the back of this Code, the reader can locate any section of the Code, as supplemented, and any subsequent ordinance included herein.

The titles and chapters of the Code have been conveniently arranged, and the various sections within each chapter have been catchlined to facilitate usage. Notes which tie related sections of the Code together and which refer to relevant state law have been included.

Title, Chapter and Section Numbering System

The title, chapter and section numbering system used in this Code is the same system used in many state and local government codes. Each section number consists of three parts separated by dashes. The figure before the first dash refers to the title number, the figure after the first dash refers to the chapter number, and the figure after the second dash refers to the position of the section within the chapter. Thus, the first section of chapter 1 of title 7 is numbered 7-1-1. Under this system, each section is identified with its title and chapter, and at the same time new sections can be inserted in their proper place by using the decimal system for amendments. For example, if new material consisting of one section that would logically come between sections 7-1-1 and 7-1-2 is desired to be added, such new section would be numbered 7-1-1.5. New articles may be placed at the end of the chapter embracing the subject. The next successive number shall be assigned to the new article.

Page Numbering System

The page numbering system used in this Code is a prefix system. The number to the left of the hyphen reflects the title number. The number to the right of the hyphen represents the number of the page in that title.

Index

The has been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular item has been placed under several headings, some of which are couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by local government officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the index itself which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which the user is interested.

Looseleaf Supplements

A special feature of this publication is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental servicing of the publication. With this system, the publication will be kept up-to-date. Subsequent amendatory legislation will be properly edited, and the affected page or pages will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to holders of copies of the publication, with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages.

Keeping this publication up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the publication. As revised pages are received, it will then become the responsibility of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to the attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publisher that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference purposes.
