The City Code is a codification of the ordinances of the City of Plymouth, Minnesota, pursuant to authority granted the City Council by Minnesota Statutes and the Charter for the City of Plymouth.
The ordinances of the City were previously codified in 1969 and rearranged in 1979. Over the years, as the number of ordinances increased with the growth of the City and with the adoption of a City Charter, the City Council wisely determined that a complete and detailed recodification was essential in order to keep the City Code up-to-date as to the current law. In this codification, some of the original ordinances have been supplemented by essential legislative enactments. Most ordinances retain their same number.
This codification, arrangement and format seeks to keep the City Code up-to-date and make the procedures to amend the City Code less cumbersome and less expensive. The City Code is organized to accomplish: (1) elimination of repetition and non-essentials; (2) easy revision and ease of incorporation of new ordinances; (3) comprehensiveness; and, (4) ease of locating a particular subject or provision.
