READING OF ORDINANCE TITLES
Administrative Services
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 aloud all ordinance titles prior to Council
introducing or adopting any ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
None by this action.
