(1) There is hereby adopted the Cathlamet Municipal Code which consists of the ordinances of the town that have ongoing effect and which have not expired according to their own terms from Ordinance No. 188 to the present.

(2) This code may be cited as the Cathlamet Municipal Code.

(3) This code may be amended by reference to code section without the necessity of referring to the underlying ordinance.

(4) New or old ordinances may be added to the code, and if an ordinance is enacted or added with a numbering system that is inconsistent with the code numbering system, the town clerk is authorized to assign an appropriate code number and to codify the ordinance accordingly.

(5) The repeal of any code section does not revive the original text of the code section; but rather, repeal of an existing section repeals the underlying ordinance section and all of its amendments.

(6) Ordinances that have on-going effect prior to Ordinance No. 188 are not affected by this codification and remain in full force and effect. (Ord. 409 § 1, 2000)
