202.08   APPLICATION OF CODIFIED ORDINANCES.
   These Codified Ordinances shall apply to acts performed within the jurisdiction of the City. Acts performed outside the City shall be governed by these Codified Ordinances up to the limits prescribed by law, where the law confers power on the City to regulate such acts outside the City.
202.09   UPDATING AND REVISION OF CODIFIED ORDINANCES.
   (a)   By contract or by City personnel, supplements to these Codified Ordinances shall be prepared and printed whenever authorized or directed by Council. A supplement to these Codified Ordinances shall include all substantive permanent and general parts of ordinances passed by Council or adopted by initiative and referendum during the period covered by the supplement and all changes made thereby to these Codified Ordinances, and shall also include all amendments to the Charter during the period. The pages of a supplement shall be so numbered that they will fit properly into these Codified Ordinances and will, where necessary, replace pages which have become obsolete or partially obsolete, and the new pages shall be prepared so that, when they have been inserted, these Codified Ordinances will be current through the date of the adoption of the latest ordinance included in the supplement.
   (b)   In preparing a supplement to these Codified Ordinances, portions of these Codified Ordinances which have been repealed shall be so indicated by the codifier (meaning the person, agency or organization authorized to prepare the supplement) by use of an editor’s note detailing how such portion was repealed.
   (c)   When preparing a supplement to these Codified Ordinances, the codifier may make formal, nonsubstantive changes in ordinances and parts of ordinances included in the supplement, insofar as it is necessary to do so to embody them into these Codified Ordinances. For example, the codifier may:
      (1)   Organize the ordinance material into appropriate chapters, sections, subsections and other subdivisions;
      (2)   Provide appropriate catchlines, headings and titles for chapters, sections, subsections and other subdivisions of these Codified Ordinances printed in the supplement, and make changes thereto;
      (3)   Assign appropriate numbers to chapters, sections and other subdivisions to be inserted in these Codified Ordinances, and, where necessary to accommodate new material, change existing chapter, section or other subdivision numbers;
      (4)   Change the words “this ordinance” or words of the same meaning to “this chapter”, “this section” or “this subsection,” etc., as the case may be, or to “sections ___ to ___” (inserting section numbers to indicate the sections of these Codified Ordinances which embody the substantive sections of the ordinance incorporated into these Codified Ordinances); and
      (5)   Make other nonsubstantive changes necessary to preserve the original meaning of ordinance sections inserted into these Codified Ordinances, but in no case shall the codifier make any change in the meaning or effect of ordinance material included in the supplement or already embodied in these Codified Ordinances, except as otherwise provided by the City.
202.10   INCLUSION OF DEPUTY OR SUBORDINATE IN TITLE OF OFFICER.
   Whenever, by the provisions of these Codified Ordinances, any officer of the City of Reed City is assigned any duty or empowered to perform any act or duty, the title of said officer shall mean and include such officer or his or her deputy or authorized subordinate.
(1981 Code § 1.9)

   (a)   General Penalty. Whoever violates any of the provisions of these Codified Ordinances, or of any technical or other code adopted by reference in these Codified Ordinances, or of any rule, regulation or order promulgated or made under authority of any provision of these Codified Ordinances, or under authority of any technical or other code adopted by reference in these Codified Ordinances, or under authority of State law, for which no penalty is otherwise specifically provided, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both, plus costs of prosecution in the discretion of the Court, for each offense. A separate offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues, unless otherwise provided.
   (b)   Surcharges; Equitable Remedies. The imposition of any penalty provided for in this section shall be in addition to any surcharge levied for a violation of a provision of these Codified Ordinances, or a provision of a technical or other code adopted by reference in these Codified Ordinances, or a rule, regulation or order promulgated or made under authority of either or under authority of State law, and shall be in addition to any equitable remedy provided by a provision of these Codified Ordinances, or a provision of a technical or other code adopted by reference in these Codified Ordinances, or a rule, regulation or order promulgated or made under authority of either, or under authority of State law, including the enforced removal of prohibited conditions.
   (c)   Complicity. Every person concerned in the commission of an offense under these Codified Ordinances, whether he or she directly commits the act constituting the offense or procures, counsels, aids or abets in its commission, may be prosecuted, indicted, tried or found responsible, and on conviction shall be punished, as if he or she had directly committed such offense.
