2 Source materials used in the preparation of the code were the 1972 code , assupplemented through September 18, 1990. Those ordinances amendatory of the Codesubsequent to September 18, 1990, through ordinance No. 2446, adopted December 3, 1990,have also been included. The code has also been revised pursuant to the revision ordinanceprepared by the city attorney's office during the summer of 1991, which changes areeffectuated by the ordinance readopting this code . As expressed in the Adopting ordinance , this code supersedes all ordinances notincluded herein or expressly saved from repeal by the Adopting ordinance . The code containsonly ordinances of a general and permanent nature, prescribed for and affecting the public asa whole. Special ordinances or ordinances dealing with only a portion of the inhabitants of thecity, rather than all of them, or relating to special purposes, such as ordinances levying specialassessments, providing for bond issues, paving, vacating and opening specified streets, etc.

3 ,are not included herein. For a more specific enumeration of the types of ordinances which arenot included herein, see Section 3 of the Adopting ordinance . The chapters of the code have been conveniently arranged in alphabetical orderand the various sections within each chapter have been appropriately catchlined to facilitateusage. Appropriate footnotes which tie related sections of the code together and which referto relevant state laws have been included. Also, the source of each section is included in thehistory note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The absence of such a noteindicates that the section is new and was adopted for the first time with the adoption of theCode. The numbering system used in this code is the same system used in many stateand MUNICIPAL codes. Each section number consists of two component parts separated by adash, the figure before the dash referring to chapter number and the figure after the dashreferring to the position of the section within the chapter.

4 Thus, the first section of Chapter 1 isnumbered 1-1 and the twelfth section of Chapter 20 is 20-12. Under this system, each sectionis identified by its chapter, and, at the same time, new sections may be inserted in their properplaces, simply by using the decimal system for amendments. By way of illustration: If newmaterial consisting of three sections that would logically come between sections 4-4 and 4-5 isdesired to be added, such new sections would be numbered , , , respectively. New chapters may be included in the same manner. For example, if the newmaterial is to be included between Chapters 12 and 13, it will be designated as Chapter should be taken that the alphabetical arrangement of chapters is maintained whenincluding new chapters. New articles and new divisions may be included in the same way, or inthe case of articles, may be placed at the end of the chapter embracing the subject and in thecase of divisions, may be placed at the end of the article embracing the subject, the nextsuccessive number shall be assigned to the new article or division.

5 The page numbering system used in this code is a modern system which uses aprefix system as follows: code CD1:1 code APPENDIX CDA:1 CDB:1 code COMPARATIVE TABLES CCT:1 STATE LAW REFERENCETABLES SLT:1 code INDEX CDi:1 A special feature of this code is the looseleaf system of binding and supplementalservicing of the code . With this system, the code will be kept up-to-date periodically. Upon thefinal passage of amendatory ordinances, they will be properly edited and the page or pagesaffected will be reprinted.

6 These new pages will be distributed to holders of Codes withinstructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages. Eachsuch amendment, when incorporated into the code , may be cited as a part hereof as providedin Section 4 of the Adopting ordinance . Keeping this publication up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holderof the volume. As revised sheets are received it will become the responsibility of the holder tohave the amendments inserted according to the attached instructions. It is stronglyrecommended by the publisher that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receiptto avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed forhistorical reference. The general index of the code has been prepared with the greatest of care. Eachparticular item has been placed under several headings, some of the headings being couchedin lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used bycity officials and employees.
