FOREWORD

Some time ago the City Commission decided it was of the utmost importance to have all the city's ordinances studied, revised, compiled and codified in order that every citizen, in theory bound to know the law, could readily discover for himself what is required of him. The need for this was great. The ordinances of the City of Fresno, accumulated for more than half a century, were more than four thousand in number. Many contained ambiguities, inconsistencies and duplications and the existence of some of them obviously had been forgotten.

The concept of a municipal code was not a new idea, yet few cities had taken the initiative in making available for their communities the many advantages of such a work. The City Commission, with commendable foresight, investigated the possibility of producing a municipal code for Fresno.

The office of the City Attorney was too busy to absorb such a monumental project. Consequently, after exploring similar situations which confronted other cities, the City Commission appointed and empowered Mr. Chalmers E. Lones, a Fresno practicing attorney with previous compilation experience, to produce a draft of the proposed municipal code. The efficient manner in which he has carried out and completed his assignment is manifest. This volume is a credit to him and an invaluable contribution to the working tools of the city.

Considerable time was devoted to revising, streamlining and compiling the subject matter for the code. Successive drafts of each proposed chapter were submitted to and approved by the departments to which the subject matter pertained. The departments were particularly helpful in recommending the elimination of obsolete provisions and the addition of much needed regulations.

Every effort will be made to keep the Fresno Municipal Code up to date, and the citizens of our city, present and future, will be the beneficiaries.

BILL NO. B-51

ORDINANCE NO. 2007-54

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FRESNO, CALIFORNIA, TO REORGANIZE THE FRESNO MUNICIPAL CODE THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF A CODE REORGANIZATION ORDINANCE RELATING TO A COMPREHENSIVE REORGANIZATION OF CHAPTERS, ARTICLES, AND SECTIONS, AND THE RENUMBERING, AMENDMENT, AND REPEAL OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE CODE.

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRESNO DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Council finds that it is in the best interest of the City of Fresno that this Code Reorganization Ordinance be adopted. The Council makes further findings and declarations of intent as follows:

A.

The current organization and structure of the Fresno Municipal Code ("Code") is overly burdensome, duplicative, and outdated.

B.

There is a need to reorganize the Code in a comprehensive manner to make it easier for members of the public and City officials to utilize and to access the Code.

C.

A comprehensive reorganization of the Code necessitates detailed renumbering of chapters, articles and sections of the Code.

D.

It is the Council's intent that in amending this Code by this Code Reorganization Ordinance, whether the amendment be by express amendment, by repeal and re-enactment, by new titling or by renumbering of a provision, if the amendment is substantially the same as any Code provision previously adopted and relating to the same subject matter, the amendment shall be construed as a restatement and continuation of the previous provision, and not as a new enactment.

E.

It is the Council's intent that staff reports submitted to the Council as part of the background for adoption of this Code Reorganization Ordinance and a transcript of the Council meetings wherein this ordinance is introduced and adopted shall be deemed part of the legislative history regarding this ordinance. The legislative history shall be filed and maintained by the City Clerk in the same manner that maintenance of the Code is required.

F.

It is the Council's intent that the City Attorney work closely with the Code Publisher and City Clerk to ensure that Code provisions are not inadvertently repealed as part of this Code Reorganization Ordinance. In that event, it is understood the City Attorney and City Clerk may make "alterations necessary to correct a typographical or clerical error or omission" as authorized by Charter Section 600(f).

G.

This Code Reorganization Ordinance constitutes the new framework for the Code. Detailed review, analysis, rewriting, renumbering, amendment, and repeal of the Reorganized Code will be conducted in Phase 4 of the Code Streamlining Project.

H.

The complexity of this ordinance requires a longer effective date period of 90 days rather than the standard 30 day period.
