Action Requested:
Motion

ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding First Reading of Ordinance No. 373.  An ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona changing the San Luis City Code by deleting Section 30.076 on prohibiting same day passage of ordinances, by amending sections 30.77 and 30.78 to allow for one reading and same day passage of ordinances; repealing any conflicting provisions; and providing for severability.  (Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney)

A. Approval of First Reading of Ordinance 373 by title only
     (City Clerk to read Ordinance by title only)

SUMMARY:

The purpose of this ordinance is to eliminate delay in passing ordinances where State law allows for it.  Currently the City Code requires two (2) readings of ordinances.  The first and second readings must be on different days.

This proposed ordinance requires only one reading of ordinances and allows for passage on the same day as the reading.   This ordinance does not change the effective date of ordinances because state law requires a 30-day wait for an ordinance to become effective.  Only in cases of emergency can an ordinance become effective immediately.

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE TO APPROVE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 373 BY TITLE ONLY.
(CITY CLERK TO READ THE ORDINANCE BY TITLE ONLY)
