When an ordinance repealing a former ordinance, clause, or provision is itself repealed, it does not revive the former ordinance, clause, or provision, unless it is otherwise expressly provided; nor shall any ordinance repealing any former ordinance, clause, or provision abate, annul, or in any way affect any proceedings had or commenced under or by virtue of the ordinance so repealed, but the same is as effectual and shall be proceeded on to final judgment and termination as if the repealing ordinance had not passed, unless it is otherwise expressly provided.
(Prior Code, § 100.130)
