ADOPTING ORDINANCE NO. 90-10
INTRODUCED BY: Michael Grandillo DATE: January 15, 1990
   ORDINANCE TO APPROVE THE 1989 CODIFIED ORDINANCES; TO ADOPT NEW MATTER; TO AMEND AND REPEAL CERTAIN OBSOLETE AND CONFLICTING LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS, GIVING NOTICE, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
   The Council of the City of Tiffin finds:
   Having determined that City of Tiffin ordinances of a permanent and general nature should be recodified, and having contracted with a legal publisher to prepare and publish such recodification, and said work having been completed to the City's satisfaction, it is now appropriate to adopt the recodification as the total of codified ordinances of this date, amending as needed, and repealing such ordinances or parts thereof as are inconsistent with the Recodification of 1989.
   The Council of the City of Tiffin therefore ordains:
   Section 1: That the ordinances of the City of Tiffin, Ohio, of a general and permanent nature, as revised, recodified, rearranged and renumbered and consolidated into component codes, titles, chapters and sections are hereby approved, adopted and enacted as the Codified Ordinances of the City of Tiffin, Ohio, 1989.
   Section 2: The provisions of this Ordinance, including all provisions of the Codified Ordinances, shall be in full force and effect as provided in Section 6 of this Ordinance. All ordinances and resolutions or parts thereof enacted and in effect prior to September 1, 1989, which are inconsistent with any provision of the Codified Ordinances, are hereby repealed as of the effective date of this Ordinance, except as follows:
   (a)   The enactment of the Codified Ordinances shall not be construed to affect a right or liability accrued or incurred under any legislative provisions prior to the effective date of such enactment, or an action or proceeding for the enforcement of such right or liability. Such enactment shall not be construed to relieve any person from punishment for an act committed prior to the effective date of recodification in violation of any such legislative provision, nor to affect filing a complaint or prosecution therefor.
   (b)   The repeal provided herein shall not affect:
      (1)   The grant or creation of a franchise, license, right, easement or privilege.
      (2)   The purchase, sale, lease or transfer of property.
      (3)   The appropriation or expenditure of money or promise or guarantee of payment.
      (4)   The assumption of any contract or obligation, including collective bargaining agreements.
      (5)   The issuance and delivery of any bonds, obligations or other instruments of indebtedness.
      (6)   The levy or imposition of taxes, assessments or charges.
      (7)   The establishment, naming, vacating or determination of grade level of any street or public way.
      (8)   Dedication of property or plat approval.
      (9)   Annexation or detachment of territory.
      (10)   Any legislation enacted subsequent to September 1, 1989.
   Section 3: Pursuant to Section 4.09(B) of the Charter, notice of this proposed recodification shall be published one time in a newspaper of general circulation at least seven days prior to its final approval of Council.
   Section 4: Each section of the Codified Ordinances without an ordinance or resolution history at the end thereof indicates that the section contains new material which is hereby enacted by this adopting ordinance.
   Section 5: Through authentication and approval of this Ordinance the Mayor and Clerk of Council shall certify that the permanent and general ordinances of the Municipality as codified are correctly set forth and constitute the Codified Ordinances of the City of Tiffin, 1989. However, ordinances or regulations duly adopted subsequently by this Council and approved by the Mayor, with notice given by publication as required by law, may supersede, amend, or repeal any part of the Codified Ordinances. Such ordinances shall be available at all times for inspection at the Municipal Building upon reasonable request, and at times determined by Council, shall be published as supplements to this Recodification, and made available at an established cost.
   Section 6: Council declares this to be an emergency because it is necessary for the public peace, health, welfare and safety that this Ordinance take effect at the earliest time provided for by Section 4.07(A) of the Tiffin City Charter. The reason for the emergency is: There is immediate need for the City's officials, the Courts, law officers, and the general public to be completely informed as to the authorized compilation of enacted legislation of the City of Tiffin, and any variance with State statutes which may occur by the proper utilization of Home Rule.
