Re: Code Editing amendment to Ames Municipal Code Chapter 23 —Subdivisions, Section
23.201 regarding subdivision definitions
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
As you may recall, several ordinances were recently enacted amending parts of the subdivision
chapter of the Code.Those new ordinances added several new definitions to that code. The existing
definitional subsection of that chapter is arranged alphabetically and is also serially numbered.Given
that existing arrangement of definitions, the newly enacted ones could not fit into the existing text
without revising the entire provision. Now that all the definitions have been added, it would be
appropriate to put them into the proper alphabetical and numerical sequence.
The attached ordinance is proposed for that purpose. It makes no substantive changes but rather will
provide a new definitional section that is in the correct order both alphabetically and numerically.
Your favorable consideration of this ordinance is requested.
Sincerely,
Ju tvyK. Parks
Assistant City Attorney
