§ 1-5. Amending Code.

(a)

All ordinances passed subsequent to the adoption of this Code of Ordinances which amend, repeal or in any way affect this Code of Ordinances shall be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this Code and printed for inclusion therein. In the case of repealed chapters, sections, and subsections or any part thereof, by subsequent ordinances, such repealed portions may be excluded from the Code by omission from reprinted pages affected thereby. The subsequent ordinances as numbered and printed, or omitted in the case of repeal, shall be prima facie evidence of such subsequent ordinances until such time as the Code and subsequent ordinances omitted are readopted as a new Code by the city council.

(b)

Amendments to any of the provisions of this Code should be made by amending such provisions by specific reference to the section of this Code in substantially the following language: "That section ____________ of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Arcade, Georgia, is hereby amended to read as follows…." The new provision may then be set out in full as desired.

(c)

In the event a new section not heretofore existing in the Code is to be added, the following language may be used: "The Code of Ordinances of the City of Arcade, Georgia, is hereby amended by adding a section (or subsection or chapter) to be numbered ____________ , which reads as follows…." The new provision shall then be set out in full as desired.

(d)

All sections, chapters, or provisions sought to be repealed must be specifically repealed by section, chapter, or provision number, as the case may be.
