Committee forwards non‑substantive code‑cleanup ordinance to the Board with positive recommendation
Summary
Deputy City Attorney John Gibner asked the Rules Committee to approve an annual ordinance that corrects typographical and formatting errors across multiple codes; the committee voted to forward the item to the Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation.
The committee’s final item on Dec. 8 was a routine, non‑substantive code cleanup ordinance intended to correct typographical errors and improve consistency across multiple municipal codes.
Deputy City Attorney John Gibner said the ordinance compiles typos and minor errors found during the year and that "as the title suggests, this ordinance makes no changes in the law other than cleaning up the code." He asked the committee to approve forwarding the ordinance as a committee report with a positive recommendation.
Supervisor Marr moved approval and the committee agreed to forward the item to the Board of Supervisors on Dec. 13 with a positive recommendation.
The ordinance covers edits across several codes, including administrative campaign and governmental conduct, environmental health, municipal elections, police, and public works. No public comment was taken on the item at the Dec. 8 meeting.
