ORDINANCE NO. 15,559
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AND ENACTING A NEW CODE
FOR THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS; PROVIDING
FOR THE REPEAL OF CERTAIN ORDINANCES NOT INCLUDED
THEREIN; PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR THE VIOLATION
THEREOF; PROVIDING FOR THE MANNER OF AMENDING
SUCH CODE; PROVIDING WHEN SUCH CODE AND THIS
ORDINANCE SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE; AND DECLARING
AN EMERGENCY.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
SECTION 1. The Code entitled "The Little Rock City Code,
Revised 1988," published by Municipal Code Corporation
consisting of Chapters 1 through 36, each inclusive, is adopted.
SECTION 2. All ordinances of a general and permanent
nature enacted on or before July 18, 1988, and not included in
the Code or recognized and continued in force by reference
therein, are repealed.
SECTION 3. The repeal provided for in Section 2 hereof
shall not be construed to revive any ordinance or part thereof
that has been repealed by a subsequent ordinance that is
repealed by this ordinance.
SECTION 4. Unless another penalty is expressly provided,
every person convicted of a violation of any provision of the
Code or any ordinance, rule or regulation adopted or issued in
pursuance thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding
five hundred dollars ($500.00) or double such sum for such
repetition thereof. If the violation is, in its nature,
continuous in respect to time, the penalty for allowing the
violation to continue is a fine not to exceed two hundred fifty
dollars ($250.00) for each day that the same is unlawfully
continued. If a violation is a misdemeanor under state law,

1 the penalty for the.violation shall be as prescribed for the
2 state offense. The penalty provided by this section, unless
3 another penalty is expressly provided shall apply to the
4 amendment of any Code section whether or not such penalty is
5 reenacted in the amendatory ordinance. In addition to the
6 penalty prescribed above, the City may pursue other remedies
7 such as abatement of nuisances, injunctive relief, and
8 revocation of licenses or permits.
9 SECTION 5. Additions or amendments to the Code when
10 passed in the form as to indicate the intention of the City to
11 make the same a part of the Code shall be deemed to be
12 incorporated in the Code, so that reference to the Code includes
13 the additions and amendments.
14 SECTION 6. Ordinances adopted after July 18, 1988 that
15 amend or refer to ordinances that have been codified in the
16 Code, shall be construed as if they amend or refer to like
17 provisions of the Code.
18 SECTION 7. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. The present Code of
19 Ordinances for the City of Little Rock has had more that 90
20 supplemenets since it was first published in 1962. Copies of
21 certain portions of these supplements no longer exist. Further,
22 pagination of the old Code is confusing. In addition, there have
23 been occasions when ordinances of the Board of Directors have
24 amended original ordinances, but on other occasions have only
25 amended the codification of the ordinances. The ability to pass
26 a single codification of ordinances and, in doing so, assure
27 that all prior ordinances and codifications are properly stated
28 is a matter of great importance that effects the health, safety
29 and welfare of the entire community since it helps assure that
30 actions taken by the Board, or by the various City departments,
31 are done pursuant to a set of ordinances that has been formally
32 adopted in the proper fashion by the Board of Directors. An
33 emergency is therefore declared to exist and this codification
