City Commission Work Session · 2026-05-28 · agenda_packet

This document is an agenda for a City Commission Work Session on May 28, 2026, focusing on the recodification of the City Code. The primary discussion item is the comprehensive review and proposed revisions to the City Code, which has been ongoing since October 2024. The revisions aim to align the code with current practices and laws, clarify provisions, and eliminate inconsistencies. Several chapters are under review and revision, including Advertising, Communications Systems, Solid Waste, Streets, Utilities, and Waterways. The City Attorney is drafting an ordinance for adoption in June. The document details specific changes within various chapters, often citing legal justifications such as state preemption, constitutional concerns (First Amendment, due process, equal protection), or conflicts with state statutes. Many sections are being deleted, edited, or revised to comply with state law or to remove unenforceable or unconstitutional provisions. For contractors, this means changes in areas like building licensing (removal of local contractor licensing), business taxes, and potentially other areas where code revisions impact operational requirements.
