'SECTION 11: Neither the adoption of this ordinance nor the rePeal hereby of any ordinance shall in any manner affect the prosecution for violation of ordinances, which violations were committed prior to the effective date hereof, nor be construed as affecting any of the provisions of such ordinance relating to the collection of any such license or penalty or the penal provision applicable to any violation thereof, nor to affect the validity of any bond or cash deposit in lieu thereof, required to be posted, filed or deposited pursuant to any ordinance and all rights and obligations thereunder appertaining shall continue in full force and effect. SECTION 12: The modification to section 1413 of the Uniform Building Code is hereby found to be reasonably necessary because of local conditions for the reason that smoke detectors have been found to be extremely effective in saving lives in residential occupancies in the City of Santa Aha, such that it is reasonable to require an owner of an existing residential building to incur the relatively minor expense of installation of such smoke detectors when such owner proposes to make a substantial improvement to his property. It is further found that this modification has been approved for inclusion in the next edition of the Uniform Building Code. -3-
