PREFACE

The Ordinance Code of the Mountain House Community Services District, originally published by Book Publishing Company, has been kept current by regular supplementation by Matthew Bender & Company, Inc., its successor in interest.

Beginning with the Republication, Municipal Code Corporation will be keeping this code current by regular supplementation.

In parentheses following each section is a legislative history identifying the specific sources for the provisions of that section. This legislative history is complemented by an code comparative table, following the text of the code, listing by number all ordinances, their subjects, and where they appear in the codification; and beginning with the republication, legislation can be tracked using the "Code Comparative Table."

A subject-matter index, with complete cross-referencing, locates specific code provisions by individual section numbers.

This supplement brings the Code up to date through Ordinance No. 2017-02, passed December 13, 2017.

HOW TO USE YOUR CODE

This code is organized to make the laws of the district as accessible as possible to district officials, district employees and private citizens. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with some of the important elements of this code.

Tables of Contents.

There are many tables of contents in this code to assist in locating specific information. At the beginning of the code is the main table of contents listing each title. In addition, each title has its own table of contents listing the chapters and sections, respectively.

Ordinance History Note.

At the end of each code section, you will find an "ordinance history note," which lists the underlying ordinances for that section. The ordinances are listed by number, section (if applicable) and year. (Example: (Ord. 272 § 1, 1992).)

Beginning with the Republication, an ordinance history note will be appended to affected sections. Ordinance history notes will be amended with the most recent ordinance added to the end. These history notes can be cross referenced to the code comparative table appearing at the back of the volume preceding the index.

Statutory References.

The statutory references direct the code user to those portions of the state statutes that are applicable to the laws of the municipality. As the statutes are revised, these references will be updated.

Code Comparative Table.

Beginning with the Republication, a Code Comparative Table has been added for use in tracking legislative history. Located in the back of this volume, this table is a chronological listing of each ordinance considered for codification. The Code Comparative Table specifies the ordinance number, adoption date, and the disposition within the code of each ordinance. By use of the Code Comparative Table, the reader can locate any section of the code as supplemented, and any subsequent ordinance included herein.

Index.

If you are not certain where to look for a particular subject in this code, start with the index. This is an alphabetical multi-tier subject index which uses section numbers as the reference, and cross-references where necessary. Look for the main heading of the subject you need, then the appropriate subheadings:

Community facilities fees

additional mitigation, authority MH-3-1108

The index will be updated as necessary when the code text is amended.

Instruction Sheet.

Each supplement to the new code will be accompanied by an Instruction Sheet. The Instruction Sheet will tell the code user the date of the most recent supplement and the last ordinance contained in that supplement. It will then list the pages that must be pulled from the code and the new pages that must be inserted. Following these instructions carefully will assure that the code is kept accurate and current. Removed pages should be kept for future reference.

Page Numbers.

The page numbering system used in this Code is a prefix system. The numbers to the left of the colon are a certain portion of the volume. The number to the right of the colon represents the number of the page in that portion. In the case of an appendix to the Code, the letter immediately to the left of the colon indicates the letter of the appendix.

TITLE 2	2:1
CODE COMPARATIVE TABLES	CCT:1

 

When originally published, the pages of this code were consecutively numbered. As of the Republication, the pages will follow a "Point Numbering System". (Example: 2:32, 2:32.1, 2:32.2, 2:32.2.1, 2:32.2.2., 2:33). Backs of pages that are blank will be left unnumbered but the number will be "reserved" for later use.

Electronic Submission.

In the interests of accuracy and speed, we encourage you to submit your ordinances electronically if at all possible. We can accept most any file format, including Word, WordPerfect or text files. If you have a choice, we prefer Word, any version. You can send files to us as an e-mail attachment, by FTP, on a diskette or CD-ROM. Electronic files enable us not only to get you your code more quickly but also ensure that it is error-free. Our e-mail address is: [e-mail].

For hard copy, send two copies of all ordinances passed to:

Municipal Code Corporation
P.O. Box 2235
Tallahassee, FL 32316

Looseleaf Supplements

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

Successfully 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 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.
