City Code Numbering & General Provisions Ordinance <br /> <br />1.01.02 Additions. New ordinances proposing amendments or additions to the code shall be <br />assigned appropriate code numbers and shall be incorporated into the code as of their effective date. <br />Reference or citation to the code shall be deemed to include such amendments and additions when <br />an ordinance is integrated into the code, there may be omitted from the ordinance the title, enacting <br />clause, section numbers, definitions of terms identical to those contained in this code, the clause <br />indicating date of adoption, and validating signatures and dates. In integrating ordinances into <br />the code, the Administrator, in cooperation with the City Attorney, may correct obvious <br />grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors; change reference numbers to conform with <br />sections, articles, and chapters; substitute figures for written words and vice versa; substitute dates <br />for the words "the effective date of this ordinance"; and perform like actions to insure a uniform <br />code of ordinances without, however, altering the meaning of the ordinances enacted. <br /> <br />1.01.03 Numbering. Each section number of this code consists of three component parts <br />separated by a decimal. The first digit of the number refers to the chapter number and the digits <br />after the first period refer to the position of the section within the chapter. The digits after the second <br />period refer to the position of the sub-section within the chapter. <br /> <br />If the section or subsection is divided into parts, a part will be distinguished by a section or <br />subsection numbered in multiples of ten. <br /> <br />Logical levels of construction following the subsection are identified in accordance with the <br />following outline: <br /> Subdivision 1. <br /> a. <br /> 1. <br /> (a) <br /> (1) <br /> <br />Definitions are not numbered but are listed alphabetically. References to definitions are made to <br />the section or sub-section preceded by the word or phrase being referenced. (e.g. Person as defined <br />in sub-section 1.01.06.) <br /> <br />1.01.04 Title headings; cross references. Chapter, section, subsection, subdivision, and <br />other titles shall not be considered part of the subject matter of this code but are intended for <br />convenience only and not necessarily as comprehensive titles. <br /> <br />1.01.05 Copies. Copies of this code shall be kept in the office of the Administrator for public <br />inspection or sale for a reasonable charge. <br /> <br />1.01.06 Definitions. <br /> <br /> General.
