• <br />WS — Item 6 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item #6 <br />Date: March 2, 2009 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Julie Bartell <br />Re: City Code Update <br />Background <br />At the last three regular work sessions, the council has engaged in the process of <br />reviewing the proposed update to the City Code. Again, the purpose of the code project <br />is to get an up -to -date City Code on line and available to the public and staff. This <br />process is known as recodification and it has not occurred with our code since 1983. <br />The council has had the opportunity to review independently those sections that contain <br />only general non - substantive revisions. To date, staff has reviewed with the council the <br />following chapters containing more complex amendments: <br />101. City Code <br />602. Regulating the Sale of Tobacco & Tobacco Products <br />611. Lawful Gambling <br />613. Transient Merchants, Peddlers, Canvasser and Solicitor <br />216. Campaign Regulations <br />701. Liquor Licensing <br />702. Beer Licensing <br />In some chapters, the council authorized revisions that have either been provided to the <br />council or will be included in the final document presented for approval. <br />Staff is now proposing that this be the final council work session review of the updated <br />city code. This final review will involve "pulling together" the remaining elements in <br />order to present a final draft code document to the council for public presentation, council <br />approval, printing and publication. <br />Attached is an annotated Table of Contents for the code that indicates recommendations <br />for outstanding sections. At the work session, this table will be reviewed with the <br />council and updated sections of the code provided. <br />1 <br />
