§ 2.13. Code of ordinances.

The council shall have the power to cause all general ordinances of the city to be compiled and printed in code form. Every general ordinance enacted subsequent to such codification shall be enacted as an amendment to the code. The council shall cause all general ordinances to be codified, recodified or reprinted whenever in its discretion such is deemed desirable, or when such codification, recodification or reprinting is required by law. When adopted by the council, the printed code of general ordinances contemplated by this section shall be in full force and effect without the necessity of such code or any part thereof being published in any manner. The caption, descriptive clause or other formal parts of the ordinances of the city may be omitted without affecting the validity of such ordinances when they are published as a code.
