Muni Code is totally useless now that the City of Lake Worth made a decision to end its participation...all for a measly $7,600.
Staff says, "As part of the budget cuts, the cost to codify our ordinances into the Code books and provide on-line, were eliminated.
As of Oct. 1, the Code book will remain unchanged. Afterwards, any new ordinance approved will be in the large area which can be researched by description. Just select the item by number and the ordinance will be displayed in its entirety. Staff will not be amending the code book. The cost savings represented $7,600, not $20,000" a figure that I picked up from something stated from the dais.
$7,600 is a drop in the bucket and another example of a lousy cost cutting-- another way for the City to be less transparent with the public.
Take a look at what I'm talking about.
This is just plain stupid, but since it comes from the "best Commission ever", you gotta love it, right?
ReplyDeleteDuring the budget process, I informed the Commission that as part of budget reductions, money for codifying ordinances ie updating our Code books effective Oct. 1st was eliminated….we are using a service by Municipal Code Corp. to list all of the approved ordinances by a brief title, once selected anyone can see the adopted ordinance in its entirety. When the economy improves, we will again have all ordinances codified and inserted into our code book.

Wes, this is a Staff reduction. All the nitty gritty reductions were not presented to the Commission only the overall dollar amount.
