Community Partners –

Please take note of the following change to City Council Ordinances.

Beginning April 1, ordinances going before the Council will require three readings, not four as has been the practice.  Staff reports, if necessary, will be provided at the first reading.  Public hearings will be held at the second reading.  The third reading will be final adoption.  As always, if an ordinance requires more changes or research, the Council can, at any step, lay the matter over to a future date.  This change was made to make the process more efficient since most ordinances are not controversial and receive very little public comment.  No Charter or ordinance changes are required to make this change in practice.
