The repeal or amendment of any provision of this Code or of any other ordinance or resolution of the common council shall not:

(1)

Affect any rights, privileges, obligations or liabilities which were acquired or incurred or which had accrued under the repealed or amended provision, unless the town has expressly reserved the right to revoke such right, privilege, obligation or liability.

(2)

Affect any offense, penalty or forfeiture, or prosecution for any offense, or levy of any penalty or forfeiture that has arisen prior to the repeal or amendment of the relevant provision of any ordinance or resolution. The preceding sentence shall not preclude the application of a lesser penalty or forfeiture if the new amending or repealing provision contains such a lesser penalty or forfeiture. The procedure for prosecution of any violations of ordinances repealed or amended shall be conducted according to the procedure set forth in the new amending or repealing provision or other procedure currently in effect.
