AYes:~ Barnes, Corprew, HaWks~ L%lcasi Si~mpson, ~Web~ Nays: None - RE~ORTS FROM THE CITYMANAGER - 89-102 - Letter from the City Manager recommending'adoption of an ordinance adopting and enacting a new code for the City of Portsmouth, Virginia; providing for the repeal of certain ordinances not included therein; providing a penalty for the violation thereof; providing for the manner of amending such code; and prowiding when such code and this ordinance shall become effective.. "During the past two years the Municipal Code Corporation, working in conjunction with the City Attorney's Office, has performed a completed recodification of the ordinances of the City of a general and permanent nature. This new code of the City of Portsmouthc Virginia (1988) replaces the 1973 code and it is believed ~hat the efforts undertaken have resulted in a Code of Ordinances which will make the active law of.the City readily accessible to all citizens and which will be a valuable tool in the day-to-day administration of the City's affairs. The City Attorney assures me that there are no substitutive changes and that all changes are of an indexing, editorial nature. The publication of the 1988 Code was under the direct supervision of Robert D. Usury, Vice President of the~Municipal Code Corporation and Steven Lieberman, City Attorney for the City of Portsmouth. Credit is gratefully given to the City Attorney's staff whose sincere interest and able assistance throughout the recodification project resulted in its suc- cessful completion. Specific credit must be given to the City Attorney's Legal Analyst Renae L. Futrell who had direct coordination responsibility to ensure successful completion of this project. In the coming weeks the Municipal Code Corporation, working in conjunction with Sheila P. Pittman, City-Clerk, will take the necessary steps to ensure the distribution of the codes so that same will be readably accessible for use as the law governing the City of Portsmouth. I, therefore, recommend that City Council adopt the enabling legislation which has been prepared by the City Attorney to be effective May 11, 1989, at which time the Code of the City of Portsmouth (1988) will be deemed effective.
