The provisions of this code, insofar as they are substantially the same as those of ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of this code of ordinances, are intended as a continuation of the ordinances and resolutions, and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of the provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior ordinance or resolution. All the provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the City Council, and it is the intention of the City Council that each provision contained within the code is hereby reenacted and reaffirmed as it appears in the code.
The repeal provided for in § 10.04 shall not affect the following ordinances, resolutions, rights and obligations which are hereby expressly saved from repeal; provided, however, that the repeal of ordinances or parts thereof in § 10.04, or the saving from repeal of ordinances or parts thereof pursuant to this section, shall not be construed so as to revive an ordinance or part thereof previously repealed, superseded or no longer of any effect:
(A) Any offense or act committed or done, or any penalty or forfeiture incurred, or any contract or right established or accruing, before the adoption of these codified ordinances;
(B) Any ordinance or resolution promising or guaranteeing the payment of money by or to the city, or authorizing the issuance of any bonds of the city, or any evidence of the city’s indebtedness, or any contract or obligation assumed by the city;

(A) Nonsubstantive grammatical changes. In compiling and preparing the ordinances and resolutions of the city for adoption and revision as part of the code, certain nonsubstantive grammatical and style changes were made in one or more of the ordinances. It is the intention of the City Council that all the changes be adopted as part of the code as if the ordinances and resolutions so changed had been previously formally amended to read as such.
(B) Substantive changes and revisions. In addition to the changes and revisions in division (A) above, changes and revisions of a substantive nature are hereby made to various ordinances and resolutions included in the code. These changes are enacted to bring provisions into conformity with the desired policies of the City Council, and it is the intent of the City Council that all the changes be adopted as part of the code as if the ordinances and resolutions so changed have been previously formally amended to read as such. All changes and revisions shall be deemed to be in effect as of the effective date of this code.
In interpreting and applying the provision of the code, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare. Where the provisions of the code impose greater restrictions or requirements than those of any state statute, other ordinance, resolution or regulation, the provisions of the code shall control. Where the provisions of any statute, other ordinance, resolution or regulation impose greater restrictions or requirements, the provisions of the statute, other ordinance, resolution or regulation shall control.
