The provisions of this Code, insofar as they are substantively the same as those of 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. 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 Jenkintown, 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 Only such provisions of former ordinances as are omitted from this Code shall be deemed repealed or abrogated by the provisions of § 1-3 below, and only new or changed provisions shall be deemed to be enacted from the effective date of this Code, as provided in § 1-6 below.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances of a general and permanent nature, adopted by the Borough of Jenkintown and in force on the date of the adoption of this Code, and not contained in the Code, are hereby repealed as of the effective date given in § 1-15 below, except as hereinafter provided.
The adoption of this Code and the repeal of ordinances provided for in § 1-3 of this ordinance shall not affect the following ordinances, rights and obligations which are hereby expressly saved from repeal.
Any ordinance adopted subsequent to December 28, 1978 (Ordinance No. 78-10).
Any ordinance or part of an ordinance providing for laying out, opening, altering, widening, relocating, straightening, establishing grade, changing name, improvement, acceptance or vacation of any right-of-way, easement, street, road, highway, sidewalk, park or other public place or property.
Any ordinance providing for the salaries and compensation of officers and employees of the Borough or establishing personnel policies for Borough employees.
Any ordinance amending the Zoning Map which shows the boundaries of zones created by the Zoning Ordinance adopted June 5, 1961.
Any ordinance or resolution establishing rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of the Borough Council.

In compiling and preparing the ordinances of the Borough for adoption and revision as part of the Code, certain grammatical changes and other minor changes were made in one or more of said ordinances. It is the intention of the Borough Council that all such changes be adopted as part of the Code as if the ordinances so changed had been previously formally amended to read as such.

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 Borough 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. Whenever such additions, deletions, amendments or supplements to the Code shall be adopted, they shall thereafter be printed and, as provided hereunder, inserted in the post-bound book containing the said Code, as amendments and supplements thereto.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Secretary, or someone authorized and directed by him or her, to keep up-to-date the certified copies of the book containing the Code required to be filed in the office of the Borough Secretary for the use of the public. All changes in said Code and all ordinances adopted by the Borough Council subsequent to the effective date of this codification which the Borough Council shall adopt specifically as part of the Code shall, when finally adopted, be included therein by reference until such changes or new ordinances are printed as supplements to said Code book, at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the book containing the Code may be purchased from the Borough Secretary upon the payment of a fee to be set by resolution of the Borough Council, which may also arrange for procedures for the periodic supplementation thereof.
The Borough Secretary, pursuant to law, shall cause to be published in the manner required a notice of the introduction and of the adoption of the Code in a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough.

The enactment and application of this Code, coupled with the publication of the notices of introduction and adoption as required by law and the availability of copies 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.
Each section of the Code and every part of each section is an independent section or part of a section, and the holding of any section, or part thereof, to be unconstitutional, void or ineffective for any cause shall not be deemed to affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section or part thereof.
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.

All provisions of the Code shall be in force and will take effect as provided by law.
