Committee reviews ordinance to adopt Tulsa Revised Ordinances recodification
Summary
City legal staff described a routine recodification to create the "Tulsa Revised Ordinances," incorporating ordinances through June 5, 2024. Committee members treated the item as routine and posed no substantive objections.
City Legal told the Urban and Economic Development Committee on March 12 that the city is preparing a recodification of the municipal ordinances under the title "Tulsa Revised Ordinances." The packet language read into the record described adoption of a consolidated code of ordinances and repeals of older ordinances, with limited exceptions.
Jeff Stevens of City Legal said the recodification "is a reconfication of the city's ordinances, which the city does from time to time. So this will incorporate and adopt all ordinances through 06/05/2024." Committee members characterized the measure as routine and asked no substantive questions.
Why it matters: Recodifications republish existing local law in an organized code. The committee discussion identified the action as housekeeping that brings prior ordinances together for clarity and administrative use; no policy changes were described in committee.
What happens next: The item remained on the committee agenda for later action by the full council; committee members did not record a committee vote during the meeting.
