A Municipal Code would incorporate nearly all of the City ' s ordinances into one volume which will make it easier for City Officials, as well as the public to use. A format for a proposed table of contents has been developed by the Assistant City Attorney for Council consideration. The contents of the table of contents is not as important as the format, because the Council may wish to add or -delete certain ordinances during the process of considering those ordinances, which would be included in the Municipal Code . The table of contents, as well as the entire code will have to be adopted after all the ordinances have been codified. Before the codification of ordinances can occur, the Council will need to consider a number of ordinances revising the County Code, which the City adopted by reference in 1982 ; as well as some of the City' s existing ordinances . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO. t•. *.-.t 4^f. r�^a.- -•y. .2'G �*FS", `y, `. �, -.'

SUITE 250 CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX P.O. BOX 208 835 E. 14TH STREET BURLINGAME. CALIFORNIA SAN LEANDRO.CALIFORNIA 94577 TELEPHONE:(615)577-3333 94011-0208 (415) 348-7130 REPLY TO MEMORANDUM TO: City Council November 21, 1986 FROM: Elizabeth Silver, Assistant City Attorney RE: Municipal Code In 1982 the City Council adopted the Alameda County 'Code in its entirety (Ordinance No. 01-82) . Thereafter the Council adopted only specified portions of the Alameda County Code (Ordinance No. 13-82) . In addition, the Council has adopted a number of other ordinances since 1982. In the Fall of 1985, Book Publishing Company prepared an analysis of the City' s ordinances in preparation for the codification of the ordinances in code form. Codification is the compilation of certain city ordinances in code form. It is not necessary to codify all city ordinances. It became apparent from Book Publishing Company' s analysis that many of the Alameda County Code provisions needed revision prior to codification for a variety of reasons (e.g. , change references to city officials, delete inapplicable provisions, revise to conform to current law) . In January of this year, I began a comprehensive review of the City' s ordinances, including those portions of the Alameda County Code which were adopted by the City by Ordinance No. 13-82 . I have worked with the City Manager and his staff in reviewing all Alameda County ordinances which have been adopted by the City to determine if they are (1 ) necessary, (2 ) up-to-date, (3 ) concise and (4) adapted to meet the needs of the City. I have prepared proposed ordinances for your adoption for those Alameda County ordinances which the City adopted in 1982 which it is necessary to continue. In addition, I have reviewed all ordinances which the City Council has adopted to determine whether they should be codified. Finally, I have prepared a suggested format for the City' s Municipal Code, a copy of which is attached. r Memorandum To City Council Re: Municipal Code November 21, 1986 Page 2 With your concurrence we will present several proposed ordinances to the Council at each of its next several meetings. The number of proposed ordinances scheduled for each meeting will vary, depending on the subject matter of the ordinances. When all of the revised ordinances have been considered by the Council the existing city ordinances and the newly-enacted ordinances will be compiled in municipal code form by Book Publishing Company. The Council can then adopt the Municipal Code in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Government Code for codification. Elizab th H.
