   (A)   All offenses committed under laws in force prior to the effective date of this code shall be prosecuted and remain punishable as provided by those laws.

In particular, any agreement granting permission to utilize highway rights-of-way; contracts entered into or franchises granted; the acceptance, establishment or vacation of any highway; and the election of corporate officers shall remain valid in all respects, as if this code had not been enacted.
   (B)   Whenever this code or any ordinance of this town requires that an act be done or prohibits an action by any officer, employee or agent of this town, the failure to perform the act or the performance of act prohibited shall not create any liability on the town or the officer.
