TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Lori Hensen, City Clerk
DATE: 10/20/2015
SUBJECT: Adopt Codification of City Code, Ord. No. 919 (F)
Action Sought
The Council is asked to adopt Ordinance No. 919, an ordinance enacting a City
Code for the City of Shakopee, Minnesota amending, restating, revising, updating,
recodifying and compiling certain ordinances of the City dealing with the subjects
embraced in the City Code, and providing penalties for the violation of the City
Code.
Background
In October of 2014, the City Council authorized contracting with American Legal
Publishing Corporation for the re-codification of the City Code. Goals of the project
included an updated format, increased clarity for readers, and an easier to use City
Code for those accessing it via the City website.
A draft of the recodification was reviewed by staff in each department over the
summer, with feedback provided to American Legal for incorporation into the final
document. Staff has now received the updated city code in both paper and
electronic format; however, before it can be enacted, an ordinance needs to be
approved and published in the City's paper of record.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of the attached Ordinance.
Relationship to Vision
This is a housekeeping item. (F)
