§ 1-4. Amendments or additions to Code.

(a)

All ordinances passed subsequent to the adoption of this Code, which amend, repeal, or in any way affect this Code, may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this Code and printed for inclusion therein. When subsequent ordinances repeal any chapter, article, or section, or any portion thereof, such repealed portions may be excluded from the Code by omission from reprinted pages. The subsequent ordinances as numbered and printed, or omitted in the case of repeal, shall be prima facie evidence of such subsequent ordinances until such time that this Code and subsequent ordinances numbered or omitted are readopted as a new code by the city council.

(b)

Amendments to any of the provisions of this Code shall be made by amending such provisions by specified reference to the article number of this Code in the following language: "That chapter ____________ , article ____________ , of the Code of Ordinances, City of Justin, Texas, is hereby amended to read as follows:…." The provisions shall then be set out in full as desired.

(c)

In the event a new article not heretofore existing in the Code is to be added, the following language shall be used: "That chapter ____________ of the Code of Ordinances, City of Justin, Texas, is hereby amended by adding article ____________ , which said article reads as follows:…." The new article shall then be set out in full as desired.

(d)

In the event it is desired to delete an article from the Code of Ordinances, the following language shall be used: "That chapter ____________ , article ____________ , of the Code of Ordinances, City of Justin, Texas, is hereby deleted from said Code of Ordinances."

(e)

It is hereby provided, however, that any subsequent ordinance which fails to amend this Code in the manner provided for above, shall not be deemed invalid as a result of such failure to follow the procedure outlined in this section.
