§ 1-8. Amendments to Code; effect of new ordinances; amendatory language.

(a)

All ordinances passed subsequent to this Code which amend, repeal or in any way affect this Code may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this Code and printed for inclusion in this Code. In the case of repealed chapters, sections and subsections or any part of a chapter, section or subsection repealed by subsequent ordinances, such repealed portions may be excluded from the Code by omission from affected reprinted pages. The subsequent ordinances as numbered and printed, or omitted in the case of repeal, shall be prima facie evidence of such subsequent ordinances until such time that this Code and subsequent ordinances numbered or omitted are readopted as a new code of ordinances by the city council.

(b)

Amendments to any of the provisions of this Code may be made by amending such provisions by specific references to the section number of this Code in the following language: "That section _____ of the Code of Ordinances, City of Shelby, North Carolina, is hereby amended to read as follows:___________." The new provisions shall then be set out in full as desired.

(c)

If a new section not heretofore existing in the Code is to be added, the following language may be used: "That the Code of Ordinances, City of Shelby, North Carolina, is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered _____, which said section reads as follows:___________." The new section shall then be set out in full as desired.

(d)

All sections, articles, chapters or provisions of the Code desired to be repealed must be specifically repealed by section, article or chapter number, as the case may be.
