Latest version.
  • When preparing a supplement to this Code, the person authorized to prepare the supplement may make formal, nonsubstantive changes in ordinances and parts of ordinances included in the supplement, insofar as necessary to do so in order to embody them into a unified code. For example, the person may:

    (1)

    Arrange the material into appropriate organizational units.

    (2)

    Supply appropriate catchlines, headings and titles for chapters, articles, divisions, subdivisions and sections to be included in the Code and make changes in any such catchlines, headings and titles or in any such catchlines, headings and titles already in the Code.

    (3)

    Assign appropriate numbers to chapters, articles, divisions, subdivisions and sections to be added to the Code.

    (4)

    Where necessary to accommodate new material, change existing numbers assigned to chapters, articles, divisions, subdivisions or sections.

    (5)

    Change the words "this ordinance" or similar words to "this chapter," "this article," "this division," "this subdivision," "this section" or "sections _____ to _____" (inserting section numbers to indicate the sections of the Code that embody the substantive sections of the ordinance incorporated in the Code).

    (6)

    Make other nonsubstantive changes necessary to preserve the original meaning of the ordinances inserted in the Code.
