(A) This code is a codification of previously existing ordinances, orders and resolutions, amendments, and newly enacted ordinances. Any previously existing ordinance, order or resolution or amendment thereto included in this code shall continue in operation and effect, as if it had not been repealed by this code. All rules and regulations adopted under any ordinance, order or resolution in this code shall remain in full force and effect unless repealed or amended subsequent to the adoption of this code.
(B) The numerical order and position of sections in this code does not resolve a conflict between two or more sections.
(C) Any irreconcilable conflict between sections shall be resolved by reference to the dates that the sections were originally adopted. The ordinance most recently adopted supersedes any conflicting ordinance or section.
(D) All references within a section of this code to any section of previously existing laws refer to the number in the original ordinance, order or resolution.
(E) All references within a section of this code to any section of any previously existing ordinance, order or resolution refer to the new code numbers assigned to that ordinance, order or resolution.
(F) (1) The numerical prefixes assigned to the various titles, chapters and sections of this code, as originally adopted or as added by amendment, are an integral part of this code and may be altered by only specific amendment.
(2) The descriptive headings assigned to the various titles, chapters, subchapters and sections of this code, as originally adopted, or as added by amendment, are not law, and may be altered by the compilers of this or any subsequent codification, in any official publication, to more clearly indicate its content. These descriptive headings are for organizational purposes only, and do not affect the meaning, application or construction of the law they precede.
(3) Each note following a section of this code is for reference purposes only, and is not a part of the section.
(G) All references to any section of this code refer to all subsequent amendments to that section, unless otherwise provided.
