AGENDA ITEM:
Ordinance Codification
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City has run out of numbers to add Ordinances and the only manner in which some sections could
have ordinances added would be to either hyphenate the Ordinance, which would seem confusing or
renumber the entire book using a three digit system. The entire book has been renumbered using the new
numbers by changing Ordinance 10 to 100. The hearing does not include any additional ordinances, only
changes numbers.
The process to do so requires the Council conduct a public hearing and then publish the final summary.
