(1)

By implication be deemed to review any ordinance not in force or existing at the time such repeal or amendment takes effect.

(2)

Affect any vested right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under any enactment so repealed or amended, unless the privilege of repealing such obligation or privilege has been reserved by the village.

(3)

Affect any offense committed or penalty or forfeiture incurred prior to the time when any ordinance is repealed or amended; provided that when any forfeiture or penalty has been mitigated by the provisions of any ordinance, such provisions shall apply to and control any judgment to be pronounced after such ordinance takes effect for any offense committed before that time.

(4)

Affect any prosecution for any offense or the levy of any penalty or forfeiture pending at the time any ordinance aforesaid is repealed or amended; but the right of action shall continue and the offender be subject to the penalty as provided in such ordinance, and such prosecution shall proceed, in all respects, as if such ordinance had not been repealed; provided that all such proceedings conducted after the time this Code takes effect shall be conducted according to the provisions of this Code.
