Columbia Borough Council authorized an agreement March 10 between the borough and General Code to digitize the borough's ordinances.
Ordinances have not been fully available, and searchable electronically, since 2008. The core issue that drove the decision was the inability for people to search for technical details about legislation when paper versions of ordinances were scanned into PDF format.
Instead, officials and residents alike have been relying, primarily, on binders.
good, now we can search and see if there even is a dog poop law - isn't there some constitutional thing that if a law is on the books and never enforced for seven years that it becomes not a law any more ? Maybe poop is not a law any more
ReplyDeleteOrdinances were previously available on the borough website but have disappeared.
DeleteMight bring to light the reasons for Columbia being the mess it is today. Bankrupt & a down right mess from the few that took so much.
