Chapter 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS*

Section 1-10 Supplementation of Code.

      (a) Supplements  to this Code shall be prepared on a regular basis. A supplement to the Code  shall include all substantive, permanent and general parts of ordinances passed by the City Council during the period covered by the supplement and all changes made thereby in the Code.  Supplementation shall be accomplished so that the Code will be current through the date of the  adoption of the latest ordinance included in the supplement, and such supplementation of the Code  may be accomplished by electronic media.

    (b)    In preparing a supplement to this Code, all portions of the Code which have been repealed  shall be excluded from the Code as published on the City of Thomasville website.

     (c)    When preparing a supplement to this Code, the codifier (meaning the person, agency or organization authorized to prepare the supplement) may make formal nonsubstantive changes in  ordinances and parts of ordinances 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 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 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 Code which embody the substantive sections of the  ordinance incorporated into the Code); and

     (5)    Make other nonsubstantive changes necessary to preserve  the original meanings 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 supplement or already embodied in the  Code.
