PREFACE

This Code is a republication of the Ordinances of Town Apple Valley, California, of a general and permanent nature. This Code supersedes all such ordinances not included therein or recognized as continuing in force by reference thereto. Source materials used in the preparation of the Code were the 1988 Code, as revised and updated through December 2010, and ordinances subsequently adopted by the Town Council.

Title, Chapter and Section Numbering System

The chapters of the Code are arranged within titles, and the sections within each chapter may be catchlined to facilitate usage. The source of each section is indicated by the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The absence of such a note indicates that the section was adopted with the republication of the Code. By use of the Comparative Table appearing in the back of the volume, any ordinance included herein can be readily found in the Code.

Page Numbering System

The page numbering system used in this Code is a prefix system. The letters to the left of the colon are an abbreviation which represents a certain portion of the volume. The number to the right of the colon represent the number of the page in that portion. In the case of a title of the Code, the number to the left of the colon indicates the number of the title. The following are typical parts of codes of ordinances, which may or may not appear in this Code at this time, and their corresponding prefixes:

CODE	CD1:1
CODE COMPARATIVE TABLE	CCT:1
CODE INDEX	CDi:1

 

Index

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

Looseleaf Supplements

A special feature of this Code is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental service, by which the Code will be kept up-to-date periodically. Upon the final passage of amendatory ordinances, they will be properly edited and the page or pages affected will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to the holders of the Code with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages.

The successful maintenance of keeping this Code up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the volume. As revised sheets 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 publishers 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.

Acknowledgments

The republication of this Code was under the direct supervision of Regina Sosinski, Editor, and Marjorie Hansen of the Municipal Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida. Credit is gratefully given to the other members of the publisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout the project.

The publishers are most grateful to the staff of the Town of Apple Valley for their cooperation and assistance during the progress of the work on this republication. It is hoped that their efforts and those of the publisher have resulted in a Code of Ordinances which will make the active law of the Town readily accessible to all citizens and which will be a valuable tool in the day-to-day administration of the Town's affairs.
