6t, <br /> March 19, 1993 <br /> TO: Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> L� <br /> enoweth City Clerk <br /> FROM: Shirley Chenoweth, <br /> RE: Proposed Recodification of Chapters 1 through 8 of the <br /> City Code <br /> When the city council directed staff to update the city code, the <br /> objectives were as follows: <br /> to reduce length of code <br /> to remove outdated and unnecessary items <br /> to remove unnecessary language <br /> to incorporate all amendments to date <br /> The majority of the changes are not in the content but in language <br /> and organization to make the code more "user friendly To reduce <br /> the length, state statutes have been referenced whenever possible <br /> rather than keeping the entire text in the code. Implementation of <br /> an administrative manual also allowed removal of several lengthy <br /> items previously placed in the code (personnel policies, etc.). <br /> This results in a 48% reduction in pages. <br /> One major change proposed is "Regulation of Animals Section 5 <br /> 3.01, A through E, which deletes licensing of animals, <br /> requires rabies vaccination and that the animal wear the <br /> vaccination tag provided by the veterinarian. The rabies tag <br /> provides identification if the animal is lost. This proposed <br /> section also treats cats in the same manner as other animals which <br /> create a public nuisance. The remainder of this section is <br /> basically the same as in the previous code. <br /> All amendments to date are included in this proposed code. <br /> Preparation of the Administrative Manual is presently is progress. <br />
