In order to assist Code users in the transition to the new Code's organization, the Derivation Table indicates where chapters and articles of the 2002 Code have been included in the 2013 Code, or the reason for exclusion. Also indicated in parentheses in the first column is the derivation of the title/chapter from the 2002 Code, citing the original ordinance number and/or the section from the previous 1972 Code. The information in this Derivation Table, along with the historical statements in the 2013 Code and the "Prior Code Cross-Reference Table" from the 2002 Code, will enable the Township to trace the history of the chapters in this volume back to the original ordinance and its amendments.
