Except as otherwise provided by this code or by ordinance, the 1974 Code of the City of Dixon, previously adopted as a comprehensive and codified ordinance of the City, shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the 1974 Code and this code, the provisions of this code shall apply. The provisions of this code, insofar as they are the same as those of the 1974 Code or other ordinances existing at the time of the effective date of this code, shall be considered as continuations thereof, and not as new enactments. [Ord. 03-006.]
1.01.030 Title, chapter, and section headings.
Title, chapter and section headings are contained in this code for the purpose of reference, and shall not be deemed to govern, limit, modify or in any manner affect the scope, meaning or intent of the provisions of this code. [Ord. 03-006.]
1.01.040 Effect on matters of record – Reference to ordinances.
The provisions of this code shall not in any manner affect matters of record which refer to or are otherwise connected with ordinances designated by name or number and included within the 1974 Code. Such reference shall be construed to apply to the corresponding provisions contained within this code. [Ord. 03-006.]
1.01.050 Effect on past actions and obligations.
Neither the adoption of this code, nor the repeal or amendment of the 1974 Code or any other ordinance or part of any ordinance or a section thereof, shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violations of ordinances committed prior to the effective date of this code, nor shall such adoption be deemed a waiver of any license, fee or penalty due and unpaid under the 1974 Code or such other ordinances on the effective date of this code. The adoption of this code and the repeal or amendment of any portion of the 1974 Code or any other ordinance, the provisions of which are moved into this code, shall not be construed to affect any of the provisions of the 1974 Code or that ordinance. All rights and obligations under the repealed, amended and reenacted provisions of the 1974 Code or other ordinances which constitute this code shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the repeal, amendment and reenactment of those provisions of the 1974 Code or such other ordinances under which such rights and obligations arose. [Ord. 03-006; amended during 2013 recodification.]
