12-3010. Effect of incorporation by reference; requirements for incorporation and omission; marked copies to city clerk and officials. The provisions of any standard or model code or ordinance, state regulation or statute or portions thereof incorporated in an ordinance by reference shall be as much a part of the ordinance as if the same had been set out in full therein when the ordinance shall have been passed by the governing body of the city and published in the manner provided by law, and any section, article, chapter, part or portion not incorporated shall be clearly and specifically described and declared to be omitted and any provisions changing or adding to the incorporated provisions shall be stated in full and published as a part of the ordinance. Instead of incorporating with omissions, the incorporating ordinance may designate specifically the sections, articles, chapters, parts or portions of the standard or model code or ordinance, state regulation or statute that are incorporated. No such ordinance shall be deemed to have incorporated therein any standard or model code or ordinance or state regulation unless the same shall be clearly described in the ordinance by name or title, the name or title of the agency, organization, or group or state officer, board or agency which prepared, compiled, published or promulgated the same, the year or edition of the work or other sufficiently identifying description, and statutes or portions thereof shall be identified by appropriate reference to Session Laws, Kansas Statutes Annotated and acts amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto. At least one copy of any such standard or model code or ordinance or state regulation shall be marked or stamped "official copy as incorporated by Ordinance No. ____," with all sections or portions thereof intended to be omitted clearly marked to show any such omission or showing the sections, articles, chapters, parts or portions that are incorporated, as the case may be, and to which shall be attached a copy of the incorporating ordinance, and filed with the city clerk to be open to inspection and available to the public at all reasonable business hours. The police department, police judge and all administrative departments of the city charged with the enforcement of any such ordinance shall be supplied, at the cost of the city, such number of official copies of any such standard or model code or ordinance or state regulation similarly marked as may be deemed expedient.
