§ 1-9. Effect of repeal of ordinances.

(a)

When any ordinance repealing a former ordinance, clause or provision shall be itself repealed, such repeal shall not be construed to revive such former ordinance, clause or provision unless it shall be therein so expressly provided.

(b)

No new ordinance shall be construed or held to repeal a former ordinance, whether such former ordinance is expressly repealed or not, as to any offense committed against the former ordinance or as to any act done, any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred or any right accrued, or claims arising under the former ordinance, or in any way whatever to affect any such offense or act so committed or done or any penalty, forfeiture or punishment so incurred or any right accrued or claims arising before the new ordinance takes effect, save only that the proceedings thereafter shall conform, so far as practicable, to the ordinances in force at the time of such proceedings. If any penalty, forfeiture or punishment be mitigated by any provision of a new ordinance, such provision may, by the consent of the party affected, be applied to any judgment pronounced after the new ordinance takes effect.

(c)

This section shall extend to all repeals, either by express words or by implication, whether the repeal is in the ordinance making any new provision upon the same subject or any other ordinance.

(d)

Nothing contained in the ordinance adopting this Code shall be construed as abating any action now pending under or by virtue of any general ordinance of the city therein repealed; or as discontinuing, abating, modifying or altering any penalty accrued or to accrue, or as affecting the liability of any person, or as waiving any right of the city under any section or provision of ordinances existing at the time of the passage of the ordinance adopting this Code.
