Craig Attorney at Law TRANSMITTAL MEMORANDUM Date: 18 October 2005 To: City Manager City Clerk RE: Ordinances for 2005 Update and Recodification Enclosed are the ordinances to effectuate the Code update and republication. Ordinance 1676 has been omitted from this stack. Ordinance 1676 will adopt the updated Code and because there are at least four substantive ordinances in this first set that will change the draft transcript of the Code, I suggest that we wait until the November 8 meeting to have a first reading on it. Otherwise, I suggest we simply put the remaining ordinances, 1667 - 1675 and 1677- 1679, in numerical order on the agenda. Again, the only two ordinances about which I expect some discussion are the Board vacancy revisions and the Wrecker ordinances. Please contact me if you have any questions.
