§ 1-13. Supplementation of Revision

(a) By contract or by town personnel, supplements to this Revision shall be prepared and printed whenever authorized or directed by the town council. A supplement to the Revision shall include all substantive permanent and general parts of ordinances passed by the town council or adopted by initiative and referendum during the period covered by the supplement and all changes made thereby in this Revision. The pages of a supplement shall be so numbered that they will fit properly into this Revision and will, where necessary, replace pages which have become obsolete or partially obsolete, and the new pages shall be so prepared that, when they have been inserted, this Revision will be current through the date of the adoption of the latest ordinance included in the supplement.

(b) In the preparation of a supplement to this Revision, all portions of the Revision which have been repealed shall be excluded from the Revision by the omission thereof from reprinted pages.

(c) When preparing a supplement to this Revision, the codifier (meaning the person, agency or organization authorized to prepare the supplement) may make formal, nonsubstantive changes in ordinances and parts of ordinances included in the supplement, insofar as it is necessary to do so to embody them into a unified Revision. For example, the codifier may:

(1) Organize the ordinance material into appropriate subdivisions;

(2) Provide appropriate catchlines, headings and titles for sections and other subdivisions of the Revision printed in the supplement, and make changes in such catchlines, headings and titles;

(3) Assign appropriate numbers to sections and other subdivisions to be inserted in the Revision and, where necessary to accommodate new material, change existing section or other subdivision numbers;

(4) Change the words "this ordinance" or words of the same meaning to "this chapter," "this article," "this division," etc., as the case may be, or to "sections ____________ to ____________" (inserting section numbers to indicate the sections of the Revision which embody the substantive sections of the ordinance incorporated into the Revision); and

(5) Make other nonsubstantive changes necessary to preserve the original meaning of ordinance sections inserted into the Revision;

but in no case shall the codifier make any change in the meaning or effect of ordinance material included in the supplement or already embodied in the Revision.
