(a) Supplements to this Code of Ordinances shall be prepared and printed whenever authorized by the City Council. 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. The pages of a supplement shall be so prepared that, when they have been inserted, the Code will be current through the date of the adoption of the latest ordinance included in the supplement.
In preparing a supplement to this Code, all portions of the Code which have been repealed shall be excluded from the Code by omission thereof from reprinted pages.
(b) 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, to facilitate the development of a unified code. The codifier shall not make any change in the meaning or effect of ordinance material included in the supplement.
