Subject. RE: Scrivener's error (?) on ordinance
I think we are safe to treat this one as a scriveners error. Thanks!

Subject: Scrivener's error (?) on ordinance
Below is the title of Ord. No. 2524, which was adopted at the March 6 Regular Meeting. As part of adding adopted
legislation to Laserfiche, Ana also adds notations to any ordinances/resolutions being amended or repealed as a result of
a new ordinance or resolution. As part of that function for Ord. No. 2524, Ana noticed that the reference in the title to
"amending Ordinance Nos. 2199 §18 had no correlating language within the body of the ordinance.
This was an error on my part. There were originally two landscaping ordinances (the "big one" and then one to relocate
a number of sections related to non-landscaping items out of the landscaping section of the code into a section where
they were better suited. A third ordinance was then added (to also move recreation requirements out and into a
separate section). When that happened, I missed taking the above reference to Ord. No. 2199 (2199 §18 had to do with
the recreation requirements) out of the first "relocating" ordinance.
The body of Ordinance No. 2524 itself is all correct; there is no incorrect language or references. The error is limited
strictly to the incorrect mention in the ordinance title.
Does our "code reviser" paragraph (Section 6 of Ord. No. 2524 as shown below) give us the liberty to change the
ordinance title to delete this incorrect reference? Thank you in advance, Rachel.
