Sturgis Council approves resolution to establish ordinance advisory committee

STURGIS, S.D. – The Sturgis City Council last night approved a resolution that will establish a city ordinance advisory committee.

The City has entered into an agreement with American Legal to recodify its city ordinances.

City officials are looking at conducting a comprehensive review of existing ordinances to identify outdated, conflicting, or unenforceable ordinances and to amend, repeals, or propose new ordinances to address emerging needs or concerns of the city.

The resolution establishes an Ordinance Advisory Committee comprised of City Council members, city attorney, and two residents of the community with the authority to establish subcommittees as necessary to review and propose changes to specific ordinances.
