CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
AGENDA REPORT
City Manager Approval
Item to be presented by
DATE: May 25, 1999
SUBJECT: READING OF ORDINANCE TITLES
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council determine that the titles to all ordinances which appear on this public agenda
have been read and waive further reading.
BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 36934 requires that all ordinances be read in full prior to Council
taking action on the ordinance. By listing the ordinance title on the Council meeting agenda,
Council may determine that the title has been read. In addition, by placing an item on the
Consent Calendar to waive further reading of all ordinances whose titles appear on the public
agenda, the reading requirement set forth in the Government Code is satisfied once Council
approves the Consent Calendar item.
This provides an opportunity to streamline the process and shorten Council meetings and is in
compliance with the Government Code regarding the introduction and adoption of ordinances.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
The City Attorney or City Clerk would read all ordinance titles prior to Council introducing or
adopting any ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
None by this action.
ATTACHMENTS
None.
