Ordinance constitutes the subject matter of municipal law. The power of municipal governments to enact ordinances is derived from the state constitution or states or through the legislative grant of a municipal charter. Municipalities that have been granted “home rule” charters by the legislature have the most authority to act. If, however, a municipality enacts an ordinance that exceeds its charter or is in conflict with state or federal law, the ordinance can be challenged in court and ruled void. Listed below are some of the more popular ordinances for our township.
- Barking Ordinance
- Fireworks Ordinance
- Deposit Appeal
- Hall Usage Procedures
- Land Division Ordinance
- Model Land Division
- Opt-Out Ordinance
Policies and Procedures are designed to influence and determine decisions and actions, and all activities take place within the boundaries set by them. Procedures are the specific methods employed to express policies in action in day-to-day operations.
