<br />MEMORANDUM OF AGENCY AND DEPARTMENT NAMES <br />TO: John Roberts, County Attorney <br />FROM: Sahana Ayer, Staff Attorney <br />DATE: November 1, 2011 <br />RE: Orange County Ordinances -Republication <br />This memorandum is written to identify the specific technical revisions to Orange County ordinances for <br />purposes of incorporation into and republication of the General Code of Ordinances. <br />The manner of arrangement, classification and indexing of the Orange County ordinances is currently <br />incomplete and inadequate to meet the needs of the County and the general public. Pursuant to the authority <br />granted by N.C. Gen. Statute § 153A-49, the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") instructed the County <br />Attorney to codify and compile the existing ordinances and incorporate the said ordinances into a General <br />Code of Ordinances. <br />Since July 2009, the Orange County Attorney's Office has been editing, proofreading and preparing all Orange <br />County Ordinances (excluding the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance) for republication by the <br />MuniCode Corporation. During this process, the ordinances have been reformatted and renumbered in <br />accordance with the MuniCode numbering and formatting guidelines. Each ordinance (excluding the Unified <br />Development Ordinance) has been reviewed to ensure typographical and grammatical correctness, rectify <br />conflicts and inconsistences between the ordinances and state statues and ensure accuracy of state law <br />references, internal cross-references and historical notes. Additionally, the names of the following federal, <br />state and Orange County Departments, ordinance and personnel designations have been changed as indicated <br />below: <br />Former Name Revision <br />Chairperson Chair <br />County of Orange Orange County <br />Department of Emergency Management Services Department of Emergency Services <br />Department of Inspections Department of Planning and Inspections <br />Department of Recreation and Parks Department of Environment Agriculture Parks <br />and Recreation (DEAPR) <br />Emergency Services Medical Advisory Committee Emergency Service Peer Review Committee <br />Environment and Resource Conservation Department Department of Environment Agriculture Parks <br />5 <br />
