Explanation
Upon approval by Members of City Council in 2007, the City Clerk engaged Lexis Nexis, an outside consulting firm with legal expertise, to conduct a comprehensive review of current City Code language to identify areas of inconsistency with the Ohio Revised Code and for internal consistency purposes. This legislation focuses on improving and updating the cross reference citations noted in several City Code sections, corrects grammatical and typographical errors and creates gender neutral references. It does not make any substantive changes or any that affect policy. This legislation completes the first of several phases to update the Columbus City Code as a result of that process.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
