City Ordinances & Resolutions

Legislative action by City Council is made in the form of resolutions or ordinances.  Resolutions are generally used when the legislation is of a temporary, informative or ceremonial nature. Ordinances are generally used for legislation of a permanent nature.

Legislation may be introduced by any member of City Council at any regular or special meeting.  The public hearing for a resolution shall be conducted at the time of the introduction.  The public hearing of an ordinance shall be conducted at the next designated meeting subsequent to its introduction, unless otherwise specified by City Council.  Once the public hearing is closed and subsequent to discussion by City Council, they may adopt the legislation (with or without amendment), reject it or table it.

All resolutions and the following ordinances shall take effect upon adoption, unless specified by City Council:

  • Appropriation of money;
  • Annual tax levies for current expenses;
