Section 4. The annotations, source notes, codifier’s notes, and other editorial matter included in

2

the printed B.R.C. 1981 are not part of the legislative text. These editorial provisions are provided to

3

give the public additional information for added convenience. No implication or presumption of a

legislative construction is to be drawn from these materials.

Section 5. The B.R.C. 1981, or any chapter or section of it, may be proved by a copy certified by

6

the city clerk of the City of Boulder, under seal of the city; or, when printed in book or pamphlet form

and purporting to be printed by authority of the city. It shall be received in evidence in all courts

without further proof of the existence and regularity of the enactment of any particular ordinance of the

9

B.R.C. 1981.

10 11

Section 6. These provisions of the B.R.C. 1981 shall be given effect and interpreted as though a continuation of prior laws and not as new enactments.

preservation of public peace, health, safety and property. Passage of this ordinance immediately

is necessary because the printed supplements cannot be distributed until the adopting ordinance is

effective. The laws of the city should be current and available to the residents of the City of Boulder as

22

soon as possible. On that basis, this ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in

23

full force and effect upon its final passage.
