Council OKs code cleanup and online hosting agreements with American Legal Publishing
Summary
The council approved a $3,750 legal review of the city's code of ordinances and a separate online-hosting setup fee (~$1,890) with American Legal Publishing to modernize and streamline ordinance updates and make the code publicly accessible online.
Council approved two related agreements with American Legal Publishing: a $3,750 contract to perform a legal review of the code of ordinances and an initial setup/hosting fee (about $1,890) to put the code online.
Staff described the review as a chapter-by-chapter legal cleanup that will return redlined language and recommendations to the council and to planning and zoning staff; the hosting package will enable automated updates so amended sections go live on the city's website and reduce the backlog of paper updates.
Councilors asked about future workshops and how the redlines would be vetted; staff said the review would take several months and produce suggested amendments for council workshops and possible public hearings. The council approved the contracts and the plan to bring recommended ordinance language back for review and action.
