Article (TBD) Ordinances

[Robert Owen]

Working draft as of 1/7/26 of an Ordinances article, to replace LV 3.15-3.17, based on Celina Chapter 10.

 

[Lynda Aird]

Consider these changes to the working draft of 1/7/26 -

"02 - The descriptive caption or title complete text of each proposed ordinance containing a penalty shall be published prior to Council public hearing in the hearing agenda packet posted on the City website unless otherwise provided by state law or this Charter.

03 - The City Council shall have the power to cause the ordinances of the City to be printed, in code form, as often as the City Council may deem advisable. failure to print the ordinances as herein provided shall not affect the validity of the same "

The City should not hold persons accountable for compliance with Ordinances that are not published in a location that is readily available and accessible.

Updated with additional sections pulled from the current LV Article III. Please review closely as I believe more editing and ordering is needed upon combining and consolidating Celina Chapter 10 and our current LV sections.
