on September 61", 2022, from Supplement Number 2022 S-8, which was adopted by the
City Council on October 17t", 2022. Therefore, Supplement Number 2022 S-8 Part Two
has been provided to incorporate Ordinance No. 30-22 in the City's code of ordinances.
Section 380.8 of the Iowa Code outlines the City's code of ordinance requirements:
380.8 Code of ordinances published
1. a. A city shall compile a code of ordinances containing all the city ordinance in effect,
except grade ordinances, bond ordinances, zoning map ordinances, ordinances vacating
streets and alleys, and ordinances containing legal descriptions of urban revitalization
areas and urban renewal areas.
b. A city may maintain a code of ordinances either by compiling at least annually a
supplement to the code of ordinances consisting of all new ordinances and amendments
to ordinances which became effective during the previous year and adopting the
supplement by resolution or by adding at least annually new ordinances and amendments
to ordinances to the code of ordinances itself.
Since August 17, 2009, the City Council has adopted certain ordinances amending the
Code of Ordinances and said amendments have been printed as supplements to the
Code of Ordinances.
I respectfully request City Council approval of the resolution adopting Supplement No.
2022 S-8 Part Two as part of the City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances.
