No. 18-1-8-4]
The 1980 Code, ordinances and certain resolutions of the Village
of Oakwood, as codified by General Code, LLC, and consisting of the
Chapters l through 283, together with an Appendix, shall be known
collectively as the "Code of the Village of Oakwood," hereafter termed
the " Code." Wherever reference is made in any of the ordinances and
resolutions contained in the Code of the Village of Oakwood to any
other ordinance or resolution appearing in said Code, such reference
shall be changed to the appropriate chapter title, chapter number,
article number or section number where such legislation appears in
the Code, as if such ordinance or resolution had been formally amended
to so read.
The provisions of the Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of the 1980 Code and ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of the Code by this ordinance, are intended as a continuation of such ordinances and resolutions and not as new enactments, and the effectiveness of such provisions shall date from the date of adoption of the prior ordinance or resolution. All such provisions are hereby continued in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed as to their adoption by the Village Board of Trustees of the Village of Oakwood, and it is the intention of said Board of Trustees that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reaffirmed as it appears in said Code. Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of §
1-3 below.
All ordinances of a general and permanent nature of the Village
of Oakwood in force on the date of the adoption of this ordinance,
inconsistent with the provisions contained therein, and not contained
in such Code or recognized and continued in force by reference therein
are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of this ordinance.

1-3 above shall not affect the following classes of ordinances, rights and obligations, which are hereby expressly saved from repeal:

to persons desiring to examine the same during all times while said
Code is in effect. The enactment and publication of this ordinance,
coupled with the availability of a copy of the Code for inspection
by the public, shall be deemed, held and considered to be due and
legal publication of all provisions of the Code for all purposes.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to keep up-to-date
the Code of the Village of Oakwood. All changes in said Code and all

subsequent to the enactment of this ordinance in such form as to indicate
