As part of the entire data/records management project, we are endeavoring to update the code with ordinances adopted since 2015 and also doing a review of the entire code starting with Chapter 1 (100). Discussion: In reviewing Chapter 1, which deals with administrative matters; we identified 6 issues. Several of these were technical in nature: • 105.2 details the duties of the Acting Mayor and states that he shall. Obvious gender correction needed. • 106.5 details the job, duties, requirements and everything else for the position of Director Parks, Recreation and Forestry — a position we no longer have. The following have policy implications and need council direction; • 101.6 require we maintain 3 copies of the code. Staff recommends 1 given the digital age. • 104.10 Subd. 3 details administrative offenses bear a fine up to $100. Current statute allows $300. Staff recommends increasing that amount. • 107 deals with elections and does not have details on early voting, waiting to hear from Attorney Riggs if language is needed.. Recommendation: Staff recommends updating the code, section by section and as detailed above which requires council direction on; 1. The number of paper copies to keep on file/hand? 2. Amount for Administrative Offenses? Respectfully submitted, Nyle Zikmund City Administrator
