Editor's Note: Ord. No. 1100, adopted April 20, 1992, amended the Code by adding a new Art. V, §§ 18-58—18-62, to Ch. 18. In order to conform to established Code format, and in order to provide for the expansion of Art. IV without the necessity of adding point numbers, the editor, at his discretion, has renumbered these provisions as §§ 18-68—18-72. The original numbers of these provisions have been preserved in the history notes following each section and in the Code Comparative Table at the back of this volume in order to facilitate tracking.
