 WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Sheffield Lake, Ohio, has had the matter of recodification and general revision of the City ordinances before it for some time, and  
 WHEREAS, the City has heretofore entered into a contract with the Walter H. Drane Company to prepare and publish such recodification, and

 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY  
OF SHEFFIELD LAKE, STATE OF OHIO:  
 Section 1. The ordinances of the City of Sheffield Lake, Ohio, of a general and permanent nature, as codified, arranged and consolidated into component codes, titles, chapters and sections are hereby approved, adopted and enacted as the Codified Ordinances of Sheffield Lake, Ohio, 1984.  
 One book-form copy of the Codified Ordinances shall be certified as correct by the Mayor and the Clerk of Council, attached to this ordinance as a part hereof, and filed with the permanent ordinance records of the City of Sheffield Lake, Ohio.  
 Section 2. All ordinances and resolutions or parts thereof which are inconsistent or in conflict with any provision of the Codified Ordinances are hereby repealed as of the effective date of this ordinance, except as follows:  
 (a) The enactment of the Codified Ordinances shall not be construed to affect a right or liability accrued or incurred under any legislative provisions prior to the effective date of such enactment, or an action or proceeding for the enforcement of such right or liability. Such enactment shall not be construed to relieve any person from punishment for an act committed in violation of any such legislative provision, nor to affect an indictment or prosecution therefor. For such purposes any such legislative provision shall continue in full force notwithstanding its repeal for the purpose of revision and recodification.  
 (b) The repeal provided above shall not affect:  
 (1) The grant or creation of a franchise, license, right, easement or privilege.  
 (2) The purchase, sale, lease or transfer of property.

 (5) The issuance and delivery of any bonds, obligations or other instruments of indebtedness.  
 (6) The levy or imposition of taxes, assessments or charges.

 Section 4. It is found and determined that all formal action of the Council concerning and relating to the adoption of the ordinance were adopted in an open meeting of Council and all deliberations of this Council and any of its committees which result in such formal action, were in meeting open to the public, in compliance with all legal requirements, including Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code.  
 Section 5. This ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the City of Sheffield Lake for the reason that there exists an imperative necessity for the earliest publication and distribution of the Codified Ordinances to the officials and citizens of the City, so as to facilitate administration, daily operation and avoid practical and legal entanglements, and therefore, this ordinance shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its passage.  
 PASSED THIS 11th DAY OF December, 1984.

EDITOR'S NOTE  
 The arrangement and numbering of the Codified Ordinances into component codes, titles, chapters and sections are based on an adaptation of the decimal numbering system which is similar to that used in the Ohio Revised Code, and in accord with the best accepted practice in instituting a codification. Each section is self-identifying as to code, chapter and section number. For example, 305.06 indicates that the code number is 3, the chapter number is 305 (or the 5th chapter within code 3), and the section number is .06. The code and chapter numbers appear left of the decimal, with the code number preceding the first two digits left of the decimal, and the chapter number being all digits left of the decimal. The section number appears right of the decimal. As another example, 113.10 indicates the code number is 1, the chapter number is 113 (or the 13th chapter within code 1), and the section number is .10.  
 This numbering system has the advantage of inherent flexibility in allowing for an almost endless amount of expansion. Codes, titles and chapters initially are odd-numbered, thus reserving the use of even numbers for future legislation. Sections within chapters are consecutively numbered, except that penalty provisions are usually assigned the number .99 as used in the Revised Code. Newly created sections subsequent to the original codification may be indicated by three digits right of the decimal in the event the law properly belongs between two consecutively numbered sections. For example, newly created 575.061, 575.062 and 575.063 follow 575.06 and precede 575.07 to be placed in their logical position.  
 Section histories enable a user to trace the origin of the law contained in the section. The history indicates the derivation by reference to either its passage date and ordinance number originally assigned to it at that time, or to its inclusion in any prior code. Sections without histories indicate that the section contains new matter which was ordained by the Adopting Ordinance which enacts the Codified Ordinances.  
 The Comparative Section Table is included to show the disposition of every ordinance included in the Codified Ordinances. It indicates whether a given ordinance was consolidated with another into one section or split into two or more sections. Cross references direct the user to subject matter reasonably related to material contained within a given chapter.
