SUBJECT: Amendment of Code of Ordinances, Parts 1 and 2
DATE: June 15, 2018
BACKGROUND:
Some time ago, staff began an ongoing process of reviewing the Code of Ordinances to
determine which provisions require amendment, repeal, additions or relocation within the Code.
As a part of that process, staff presented proposed amendments to Part 1, General Provisions,
and Part 2, Administration and Government, of the Code to the City Council at several work
sessions. Proposed ordinances enacting and codifying those changes are now presented for
Council consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 1132 amending the Owasso Code of Ordinances,
Part 1, and approval of Ordinance 1133 amending the Owasso Code of Ordinances, Part 2.
