(a) All ordinances, resolutions, rules and other regulations of the Town consistent with this Charter which are in effect as of the effective date of this Charter shall continue in full force and effect until repealed or amended. Any provision inconsistent with this Charter is hereby superseded, and the Town Council shall proceed with due diligence after the adoption of this Charter to make the necessary amendments or repeals to bring Town ordinances of a general and permanent nature into consistency with this Charter.

(b) To the extent that the Town has not adopted an ordinance or resolution to address a matter that is addressed by the Colorado Revised Statutes and would be applicable to a statutory town that did not have such an ordinance or resolution, then the provisions of such statutes shall continue to apply until the Town adopts such an ordinance or resolution.

(c) To the maximum extent permitted by law, any ordinance, resolution, or other official action taken by the Town prior to the effective date of this Charter shall be deemed to have taken place under the authority of this Charter. Without limiting the preceding sentence, to the extent that the Town’s home-rule authority cannot legally be extended retroactively to apply to any particular ordinance or resolution, then, and only then, all such ordinances or resolutions which would otherwise be deemed wholly or partially invalid if enacted under the authority of a statutory town are hereby reenacted under the authority of this Charter as of the effective date hereof. (Amended January 17, 2019)
