SUMMARY: An “ordinance” is a piece of legislation enacted by a municipal authority. For the District it is typically how we codify our rules, regulations, and laws. The District maintains links to each of its Ordinances on its website, as well as physical copies. However, from 1989 through 2010 the District has drafted nine (9) Ordinances, assigned them numbers, and brought them to the Board for action, and then failed to enact them.

The reasons for failure to enact have been either (i) no action taken, (ii) rejected by the Board, or (iii) referred back to committee. Yet, the District has posted such non-enacted ordinances on its website, chronologically among the enacted Ordinances. Staff recommends that the Board adopt a policy that Ordinances that are not enacted shall not be posted to the website, nor be maintained in physical copies among the enacted ordinances.

The ordinances to be removed are Ordinance Nos 46, 68, 93, 94, 103, 112, 117, 131, 143.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt a policy that Ordinances that are not enacted shall not be posted to the website, nor be maintained in physical copies among the enacted ordinances, and remove the nine presently posted ordinances.
