Section 2. The addition, amendment, or removal of Municipal Gahanna City Code Sections when passed in such form as to indicate the intention of the governing authority of the City of Gahanna, Ohio to make the same a part of the Municipal Code shall be deemed to be incorporated in the Municipal Code, so that reference to the Municipal Code includes the additions, amendments, and removals.
Section 3. The codifier (meaning the person, agency or organization authorized to prepare the supplement to the Code of Ordinances of the City of Gahanna, Ohio) is authorized to exclude and omit any provisions of this ordinance that are inapplicable to the City’s Municipal Code.
Section 4. Supplementation of Code.
(a) In preparing a supplement to the City’s Municipal Code, all portions of this ordinance which have been repealed shall be excluded from the City’s Municipal Code by the omission thereof from reprinted pages.
(b) When preparing a supplement to the City’s Municipal Code, the codifier (meaning the person, agency or organization authorized to prepare the supplement) may make formal, non-substantive changes in this ordinance and parts of this ordinance included in the supplement, insofar as it is necessary to do so to embody them into a unified code. For example, the codifier may:
(1) Organize the ordinance material into appropriate subdivisions;
(2) Provide appropriate catchlines, headings and titles for sections and other subdivisions of the City’s Municipal Code printed in the supplement, and make changes in such catchlines, headings, and titles;
(3) Assign appropriate numbers to sections and other subdivisions to be inserted in the City’s Municipal Code and, where necessary to accommodate new material, change existing section or other subdivision numbers;
(4) Change the words "this ordinance" or words of the same meaning to "this chapter," "this article," "this division," etc., as the case may be, or to "sections ________ to ________" (inserting section numbers to indicate the sections of the City’s Municipal Code which embody the substantive sections, or the ordinance incorporated into the Code); and
(5) Make other nonsubstantive changes necessary to preserve the original meaning of ordinance sections inserted into the City’s Municipal Code; but in no case shall the codifier make any change in the meaning or effect of ordinance material included in the supplement or already embodies in the City’s Municipal Code.
(c) In preparing a supplement to the City’s Municipal Code, the pages of a supplement shall be so numbered that they will fit properly into the City’s Municipal Code and will, where necessary, replace pages which have become obsolete or partially obsolete, and the new pages shall be so prepared that, when they have been inserted, the City’s Municipal Code will be current through the date of the adoption of the latest ordinance included in the supplement.
Section 5. Provisions of EXHIBIT A that duplicate or track State statutes which do not become effective until after the effective date of this ordinance, shall not take effect until such statutes take effect.
Section 6. That this ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon passage by this Council and 30 days after date of signature of approval by the Mayor.
