History

This comprises the codification of the ordinances of the Borough of Portage. The Borough

of Portage was incorporated as a Borough on October 7th, 1890 fro parts of Portage Township.

The Code of Ordinances of the Borough of Portage was prepared by Penns Valley Publishers,

a division of Fry Communications, Inc., and adopted by the Borough Council on April 5, 1999,

by Ordinance 3-1999.

Organization

The Code contains four parts which are (1) the valid current ordinances of the Borough contained

in Chapters 1 through 27, (2) the Appendix, which lists by abstracted title of all ordinances of a

temporary or "one time nature", (3) the Key to the Disposition of each ordinance ever enacted by the

Borough, and (4) the Index, which is an alphabetical arrangement of subjects.

In the Code each Chapter is separated by a divider tab, and specific ordinances can be located by

subject on the contents page at the beginning of each Chapter. The Index may also be used to

search for a subject when one is looking for general information on a particular subject, or if it is

not known in which Chapter the subject might be found. The Appendix consists of several general

categories containing a chronological listing of short subject descriptions along with a reference of

the original ordinance and its date of enactment, if known.

The Key to the Disposition indicates what action has been taken by the Borough Council with regards

to every ordinance ever enacted. An ordinance has either been (1) specifically repealed, (2) superseded

by another ordinance, (3) is located in a Chapter of the Code Book, or (4) is located in the Appendix.

Annual Tax Rate and Budget ordinances are located only in the Key. The key is a cross reference

to the original ordinance books of the Borough, and to the location within the Code of each ordinance by

number.
