ASSEMBLY AGENDA/MANAGER'S REPORT
THE CITY AND BOROUGH OF JUNEAU, ALASKA

Ordinance 2014-12 An Ordinance Amending the Code Formatting Requirements to Allow for Underlining, Rather Than Italicizing, of New Material When Amending an Ordinance, and to Delete the References to Typewritten Ordinances in Chapter 01.20.20.

MANAGER'S REPORT:

CBJ 01.20.020 specifies the formatting requirements to be used for all ordinances.  The code currently requires that ordinances proposing code amendments specify the language being added by the use of italics.   This requirement causes confusion when the code section being amended includes italics in the original.  This ordinance would require that ordinances proposing amendments to code sections identify any new language by the use of underlining, rather than italicizing. 

Additionally, it would delete the reference to typewritten ordinances.

RECOMMENDATION:

I recommend this ordinance be introduced and set for public hearing at the next regular Assembly meeting.
