Subject: Proposed ordinance repealing Section 23.308(2)(c)
While I was doing work recently, I happened to be reviewing Section 23.308 of the
Ames Municipal Code. In subsection (2)(c),there was a reference to Iowa Code Section
254.15, which I then wished to read. However, I discovered that all of Iowa Code
Chapter 254 was reserved. That meant this Iowa Code reference in the Municipal Code
was no longer correct.
Through further research, I ascertained which Iowa Code section should have been
referenced in the Ames Municipal Code. It should have been a reference to Iowa Code
Section 354.15.
This proposed ordinance is meant to correct that error. I would ask for your favorable
consideration of it by passage on first reading, and subsequent passage at later meetings
so it may be enacted.
