INTRODUCTION: Background The ordinances of the City were previously codified in 1974. Over the years, as the number of ordinances increased with the growth of the City, the staff has determined that a complete and detailed recodification and update was essential in order to facilitate transparency and keep the City Code up-to-date as to the current law. With the recodification and update staff plans to accomplish the following: (1) elimination of repetition and non-essentials; (2) easy revision and ease of incorporation of new ordinances; (3) comprehensiveness; and, (4) ease of locating a subject provision. Reorganization The first attached ordinance contains the proposed reorganization. The reorganization consists updating terms (eg: Part becomes Chapter) and updating titles (eg: Construction and Definitions becomes Interpretation and Definitions; Civil Defense Organization becomes Emergency Management). It also includes reorganization of Chapters 1 and 2 to create articles within the Chapters providing for better organization and ease in locating similar ordinances. The second attached ordinance contains updates to the provisions in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. The revisions include updates to terminology and titles (eg: Part becomes Chapter; City Manager becomes City Clerk for certain provisions); fixing typographical errors; updating or removing internal references; updating for compliance with State law or other City ordinances; and updating for compliance with City practice.
