Editor's note-Before the enactment of Ord. No. 98-39 on September 15, 1998, the former § 18-184, which pertained to additional creditable service for years spent on the volunteer force of the city's fire department, was repealed by Ord. No. 94-11, § 1, adopted May 3, 1994. This previous § 18-184 was derived from the 1958 Code, § 21-96; Ord. No. 79-23, Art. I, adopted Aug. 7, 1979; and Ord. No. 89-26, § 1, adopted Sept. 19, 1989.
