Phoenix — Ch. 22 Art. VI Property Maintenance § 22-422
Codification
Operative Text
It is the intention of the board of trustees, that the provisions of this division shall become and be made a part of the Village Code of Ordinances; and that the sections of this division may be renumbered or re-lettered to accomplish such intention, and the word "ordinance" may be changed to "section," "chapter," or such other appropriate word or phrase in order to accomplish such intentions.
Phoenix Ch. 22 Art. VI § 22-422 is a codification clause, meaning it expresses the governing body's intent to formally incorporate this division's rules into the official Village Code of Ordinances. It also permits housekeeping changes—such as renumbering sections or substituting the word 'ordinance' with 'section' or 'chapter'—so the text fits consistently within the broader code. The substance of the underlying property maintenance rules is not altered by this provision; only their organizational placement and labeling may change.
