RESOLUTI ON NUMBER c:?16 fj
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEAL BEACH SUPPORTING THE EFFORTS OF THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CITY CLERKS ASSOCIATION
TO PROMOTE LEGISLATION TO LIMIT THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR LEGAL PUBLICATION OF
ORDINANCES.
the Southern California City Clerks' Association actively
supported legislation to reduce the exorbitant costs of
legal publications pertaining to basic wage rates; and
the California State Legislature enacted legislation this
past year which eliminates the requirement for publication
of basic wage rates; and
cities are still faced with excessive legal publication
costs due to requirements by statute or charter (Government
Code 50021) that ordinances must be published in a newspaper
of general circulation, and in full; and
many cities are presently, or may be, faced with a drastic
curtailment of monies in their General Fund due to proposed
limitations on these funds; and
WHEREAS, readership of legal publications, generally delegated to
classified sections of newspapers, is notably lacking; and
WHEREAS, the Southern California City Clerks' Association feel that
the best interests of both the public and their cities would
be served by limiting the publication of ordinances to number,
title, a brief synopsis of content and a statement that a full
copy of the ordinance is available in the office of the City
Clerk.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City CouncB of the'City .of Seal
Beach does hereby request that legislation be adopted which would limit
the requirements for legal publication of ordinances to the manner
proposed and which would save many dollars of the taxpayers' funds and
permit them to be used in a manner which would provide more benefit to
their cities.
