CHAPTER I—GENERAL PROVISIONS
ORDINANCE 101 GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 101.01: CITATION. This codification of the City's ordinances shall be known
as the "St. Joseph City Code" and may be so cited. It may also be cited as the St. Joseph, City
Code, the St. Joseph Code of Ordinances, the St. Joseph Code, City Code, the Code, Code of
Ordinances, or Ordinances of St. Joseph.
Section 101.02: INTEGRATION OF ORDINANCES INTO CODE. The City
Clerk/Administrator or City Attorney shall assign appropriate code numbers and incorporate into
the City Code as of their effective date all new ordinances proposing amendments or additions to
the City Code. Reference or citation to the City Code shall include all amendments and
additions. When the City Clerk/Administrator cooperating with the City Attorney integrates an
ordinance into the City Code, the City Clerk/Administrator or City Attorney may omit from the
ordinance the title, enacting clause, specific numbers, definitions of terms identical to those
obtained in this ordinance, the clause indicating the date of adoption, validating signatures and
dates. In integrating ordinances into the City Code, the City Clerk/Administrator or City
Attorney may correct grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors; change reference numbers to
conform with sections, articles and chapters of the City Code; substitute figures for written
words and visa versa; substitute dates for the words "effective date of this ordinance"; and
perform any other actions to insure a uniform ordinance code without, however, altering the
material meaning of the enacted ordinances.
Section 101.03: NUMBERING. Each section number of this City Code consists of two
component parts separated by a decimal. The first digit of the number refers to the ordinance
number. The digits following the decimal refer to the ordinance section.
Section 101.04: CITATION. Ordinance provisions shall be cited by ordinance number,
section, subdivision and then paragraph number or letter. As an alternative method of citation,
the terms "section", "subdivision" and "paragraph" may be omitted from the citation with a
decimal point substituted in place of the phrase with the section, subdivision and paragraph
numbers set out in descending order. By way of example, the following hypothetical ordinance
may be cited in either of the following ways:
Section 109.02, Subd. 3, para. D; or 109.02.3.D.
Section 101.05: CAPTIONS AND TITLES. Chapters,parts, sections, subdivisions, and
other titles are not part of this Code's subject matter, but are intended for convenience only and
shall not limit, expand or otherwise alter or control the content, wording or interpretation of this
City Code or its provisions.
