§ 11. Change to be prepared embodying permanent and general ordinances.

(a)

By contract or by City personnel, a change or supplement to the Code adopted by this ordinance shall be prepared and printed whenever authorized or directed by the City Council. A change to the Code shall include all substantive permanent and general parts of ordinances passed by the City Council or adopted by initiative and referendum during the period covered by the change, and all changes made thereby in the Code shall also include all the amendments to the City Charter adopted during this period. The pages of a change shall be so numbered that they will fit properly into the Code, and 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 Code will be up to date to the date to which the Code is being brought up to date.

(b)

When preparing a change, the codifier (meaning in this ordinance, the person, agency, or organization authorized to prepare the change) may make formal, nonsubstantive changes in ordinances and parts of ordinances included in the change, 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 Code printed in the change and may make changes in such catchlines, headings, and titles;

(3)

Assign appropriate numbers to sections and other subdivisions to be inserted in the Code;

(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 Code which embody the substantive sections of the ordinance incorporated into the Code); and,

(5)

Make other nonsubstantive changes necessary to preserve the original meaning of ordinance sections inserted into the Code; but, in no case shall the codifier make any change in the meaning or effect of ordinance material included in the change or already embodied in the Code.

(c)

Each change shall include a new title page for the Code; and the title shall include a notation below the title indicating that the Code contains all permanent and general ordinances and parts of ordinances passed prior to the date to which the Code is brought up to date and still in effect. The words "as amended" may be added to the title after the date "1976".

(d)

With prior approval of the City Attorney or City Council, a change may include new materials in appendixes to the Code for convenience of persons using the Code.

(e)

Every change shall include an index supplement if needed to index the materials in the change or changes, or a new index to the Code.

(f)

In preparing every change, the codifier shall be subject to the direction and supervision of the City Attorney.

(g)

After every change has been prepared and printed, a number of copies of the change, equal at least to the number of copies of the Code still in existence, shall be deposited in the office of the City Clerk. The City Clerk shall deliver by mail or otherwise, those supplements to those holders of the Code who are current subscribers to the Code Supplement Service. Immediately after receiving the copies of a change, the City Clerk shall cause the change to be properly inserted and made in all copies of the Code still in his possession.
