Citizen Chris Dove blew dust off the city ordnances when he asked Council if they were legally binding. The Mayor did not know, Council members dodged the question because they had never been asked that one before. Not even Curtiss Milteer would take a shot, and he knows everything. Everyone expected the Mayor to reassure they were binding but she knew better than to ask the City Attorney who knew all ordnances are NOT legally binding. Was it an innocent question by Mr. Dove or did he know they were not binding. If some are not then maybe none are. Can you imagine the chaos that could follow when individuals and attorneys look back at decisions rendered to their displeasure. There have always been questions about the “sensibility” of many
rules in the UDO. We owe Mr. Dove applause for stirring the pot.
