The <br />codification of the SLAC is being outsourced for greater efficiency and consistency with the <br />City’s other Codes, and to better serve the community by providing more powerful research <br />capabilities. During the recodification process, the external codifier recommended slightly <br />modifying the format to apply a consistent style and improve readability throughout the Code. <br />The City Attorney recommends that the updated format be accepted by the City Council. Staff <br />recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the recodified SLAC. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The SLAC is currently codified in-house and posted as a single PDF file on the City website. <br />Using a professional codifier provides quicker access and enhanced research capabilities. <br />Quality Code Publishing currently codifies and publishes the San Leandro Municipal Code <br />and San Leandro Zoning Code. Services include updating the Codes in paper as well as <br />online. <br />Analysis <br />During the SLAC recodification process, Quality Code editorially modified the numbering of <br />some sections and the handling of appendices and exhibits to apply a consistent style and <br />improve readability throughout the Code. Attached is a list of the changes and the “before <br />and after” versions of the affected chapters. The codifier has offered to reprint the entire code <br />free of charge so that the formatting of the online code and the printed code match. The <br />recodification involves only format changes, and no changes to content. <br />The following chapters of the San Leandro Administrative Code were editorially modified <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/26/2013
