Summary
The Thayne Town Council voted Oct. 18 to contract with Sterling Codifiers to codify the town’s ordinances and publish the updated code online; the council said codification will improve public access and legal clarity.
The Thayne Town Council voted Oct. 18 to contract with Sterling Codifiers to codify the town’s ordinance book and make the code available online. Mayor A. DeLand Lainhart and council members said the codification will organize existing ordinances and make them easier for residents and staff to reference.
Council members discussed documents the town received from Sterling Codifiers and the potential benefits of a consolidated, searchable code. Councilman Woolley moved the contract motion; Councilman Heward seconded and the motion carried.
The codification will standardize the town’s ordinances and, according to the minutes, enable online publication. The minutes do not specify a contract amount, timeline for completion or which staff member will oversee implementation. The council did not record further debate in the minutes.
The council proceeded to other business after the vote; the minutes indicate the codified ordinances will be made available online once the contract work is completed.
