AGENDA REPORT
City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by:
DATE: May 13, 2003
SUBJECT: READING OF ORDINANCE TITLES
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Agenda Item:
��i
Sharon Dawson
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 aloud all ordinance titles prior to Council introducing or
adopting any ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
None by this action.
