Design note: Today the code is about 24 separate PDFs, each with its own date in the file name, from Elections 2012 to Revised Chapter IV, 12.12.2024. Nobody can tell from the page which version is current or search across chapters. The chapters still shown as PDF here are exactly as the City publishes them today; in the new site every one becomes sections like Chapter II.

Model codes adopted by reference, such as the Standard Traffic Ordinance (2025) PDF and the Uniform Public Offense Code (2025) PDF, stay as linked documents.
How the code stays current
- The Governing Body adopts an ordinance.
- The Clerk opens the affected sections and edits them, or uploads the revised chapter, and records the ordinance number and date.
- An approver reviews and publishes. The section's history updates itself, and every earlier version is kept.
