Council introduces Ordinance No. 25-09 to adopt new municipal code
Summary
Ordinance No. 25-09, proposing adoption of a consolidated Code of Ordinances for St. Martinville (chapters 1–46, CivicPlus LLC), was introduced July 7; the ordinance text repeals older ordinances not carried forward and sets penalties, but the effective date was left blank in the introduction.
The St. Martinville City Council introduced Ordinance No. 25-09 on July 7, 2025, proposing adoption and enactment of a new Code of Ordinances for the city. The ordinance cites a published code by CivicPlus LLC covering chapters 1 through 46 and includes clauses to repeal prior ordinances of a general and permanent nature enacted on or before Dec. 18, 2023 that are not included in the new code.
Section text included provisions on penalties for violations (referencing code Sec. 1-8), the treatment of amendments and how ordinances adopted after Dec. 18, 2023 should be construed in relation to the code. The ordinance introduction in the minutes leaves the effective date blank: "This ordinance shall become effective ___________________________________" — the transcript therefore does not specify when the codified text would take effect.
Because the ordinance was only introduced, no vote outcome on final adoption appears in the minutes; the council will need to schedule subsequent readings or adoption steps per the city’s procedural rules.
