§ 1-4. Amendments or additions to Code

All ordinances passed subsequent to the adoption of 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 therein. When subsequent ordinances repeal any chapter, section or subsection, or any portion thereof, such repealed portions may be excluded from the Code by omission from reprinted pages.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 by the city council.

Amendments to any of the provisions of this Code shall be made by amending such provisions by specified reference to the section number of this Code in the following language:

"That chapter ____________, section ____________, of the Code of Ordinances, City of Sachse, Texas, is hereby amended to read as follows…"

The provisions shall then be set out in full as desired.

In the event of a new section not heretofore existing in the Code is to be added, the following language shall be used:

"That chapter ____________ of the Code of Ordinances, City of Sachse, Texas, is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered section ____________, which said section reads as follows…"

The new section shall then be set out in full as desired.

In the event it is desired to delete a section from the Code of Ordinances, the following language shall be used:

"That chapter ____________, section ____________, of the Code of Ordinances, City of Sachse, Texas, is hereby deleted from said Code of Ordinances.

It is hereby provided, however, that any subsequent ordinance which fails to amend this Code in the manner provided for above, shall not be deemed invalid as a result of such failure to follow the procedure outlined in this section.
