The provisions of this Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of the 2005 Code and the ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment of this ordinance, are intended as a continuation of such ordinances and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior ordinance.

Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §
1-21 below, and only new or changed provisions, as described in §
1-24 below, shall be deemed to be enacted from the effective date of this Code, as provided in §
1-26 below.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to the Code, when passed and adopted in such form as to indicate the
intention of the Town Council to be a part thereof, shall be deemed
to be incorporated into such Code so that reference to the Code shall
be understood and intended to include such changes.
All ordinances of a general and permanent nature adopted subsequent to the date given in §
1-21A and/or prior to the date of adoption of this ordinance are hereby deemed to be a part of the Code and shall, upon being printed, be included therein. Attested copies of all such ordinances shall be temporarily placed in the Code until printed supplements are included.
All provisions of this ordinance and of the Code shall be in
force and effect on and after March 14, 2016.
