requirements for ordinances
SUBMITTED BY City Clerk
ITEM EXPLANATION
(4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES. NO X )
The California City Clerks Association is seeking legislation
to limit the publication of ordinances to just a summary form
which would be prepared by the attorney. The summary would state
that the full text of the ordinance is available for public inspection
in at least two specified public places within the city and that a
copy may be obtained from the city clerk. By this procedure, the
cities can greatly reduce the costs of publication and more
adequately inform the public of the substance of new or amended
ordinances.
Most of the cities in the County have already adopted a resolution
supporting this legislation. Assemblyman Imbrecht is carrying the
Bill (AB 3793) which should be out of the committee by June 26 and
onto the floor.
Publication costs for the City runs nearly $20,000 a year. The
passage of this Bill will greatly reduce this amount.
