RE: Ordinance to Re-adopt Municipal Code Book
BACKGROUND
Municipalities are authorized to adopt a code of ordinances by section 66.0103 of the Wisconsin
Statutes.
ANALYSIS
The City adopts ordinances on a regular basis creating new sections of the code, amending
sections or removing sections. Occasionally there are minor typographic types of errors along
with changes in page references or similar non-substantive revisions which are required when the
ordinance changes are assimilated into the codebook. Staff will make those corrections as
necessary to maintain the book in a clean, readable format. However it is beneficial to periodically
readopt the entire code book to specifically incorporate even these non-substantive changes and
allow reference to the municipal code book rather than requiring reference back to each individual
ordinance that has passed. Wisconsin Statutes require publication at least two weeks prior to
adoption of the code and that publication was completed on January 8, 2022. This would be our
annual re-adoption of the code book.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to this ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
