§ 1-6. Amendments to Code; effect of new ordinances; amendatory language.

All ordinances passed subsequent to this Code of Ordinances which amend, repeal or in any way affect this Code of Ordinances, may be numbered in accordance with the numbering system of this Code and printed for inclusion herein. In the case of repealed chapters, sections and subsections or any part thereof, by subsequent ordinances, such repealed portions may be excluded from the Code by omission from reprinted pages affected thereby. The subsequent ordinances as numbered and printed or omitted, in the case of repeal, shall be prima facie evidence of such subsequent ordinances until such time that this Code of Ordinances and subsequent ordinances numbered or omitted are re-adopted as a new Code of Ordinances by the city commission.

Amendments to any of the provisions of this Code may be made by amending such provisions by specific reference to the section number of this Code in substantially the following language: "Be It Ordained by the Commission of the City of Cocoa Beach, Florida: That section _____ of the Code of the City of Cocoa Beach, Florida, is hereby amended to read as follows: …." The new provisions shall then be set out in full as desired.

In the event a new section not heretofore existing in the Code, is to be added, the following language shall be used: "Be It Ordained by the Commission of the City of Cocoa Beach, Florida: That the Code of Ordinances, City of Cocoa Beach, Florida, is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered _____, which said section reads as follows: …." The new section shall then be set out in full as desired.

All sections, articles, chapters or provisions desired to be repealed must be specifically repealed by section, article or chapter number, as the case may be.
