§ 1-3 Inconsistent ordinances repealed.
Pursuant to Section 3301.5(a) to (d) of the Borough Code [53 P.S. § 48301.5(a) to (d)], the codification of a complete body of legislation for the Borough of Girard, County of Erie, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as revised, codified and consolidated into chapters, articles and sections by General Code, and consisting of Chapters 1 through 425, together with an Appendix, are hereby approved, adopted, ordained and enacted as a single ordinance of the Borough of Girard, which shall be known and is hereby designated as the "Code of the Borough of Girard," hereinafter referred to as the "Code."
The provisions of this Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of ordinances and resolutions in force immediately prior to the enactment of 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 Borough Council of the Borough of Girard, and it is the intention of said Borough Council that each such provision contained within the Code is hereby reenacted and 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 Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below, and only changed provisions, as described in § 1-6 below, shall be deemed to be enacted from the effective date of this Code, as provided in § 1-15 below.
Except as provided in § 1-4, Ordinances saved from repeal; matters not affected by repeal, below, all ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with the provisions contained in the Code adopted by this ordinance are hereby repealed as of the effective date given in § 1-15; provided, however, that such repeal shall only be to the extent of such inconsistency, and any valid legislation of the Borough of Girard which is not in conflict with the provisions of the Code shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect.
Any ordinance adopted subsequent to 9-17-2012.
Any legislation pertaining to telephone, gas, electric and cable franchise agreements.
Substantive changes and revisions. In addition to the changes and revisions described above, changes and revisions of a substantive nature, as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof, are hereby made to various ordinances and resolutions included in the Code. These changes are enacted to bring provisions into conformity with the desired policies of the Borough Council, and it is the intent of the Borough Council that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances and resolutions so changed had been previously formally amended to read as such. All such changes and revisions shall be deemed to be in effect as of the effective date of the Code specified in § 1-15.
Editor's Note: In accordance with § 1-6B, the parts and sections that were added, amended, adopted or deleted by this ordinance are indicated throughout the Code by a footnote referring to Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article I. During routine supplementation, footnotes indicating amendments, additions or deletions will be replaced with the following history: [Amended (added, deleted) 1-21-2013 by Ord. No. 725]. Schedule A, which contains a complete description of all changes, is on file in the Borough offices.
Outdated statutory references have been updated accordingly.

"Department of Community Affairs" and "DCA" are changed to "Department of Community and Economic Development" and "DCED."

It shall be unlawful for anyone to improperly change or amend, by additions or deletions, or to alter or tamper with the Code, or any part or portion thereof, in any manner whatsoever which will cause the law of the Borough to be misrepresented thereby. Anyone violating this section of this ordinance shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $600, plus costs of prosecution, and, in default of payment thereof, by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 30 days.
