When <br /> amendments are approved, the ordinances are updated with the new <br /> material . This has caused the volumes to become enormous and hard to <br /> follow, with all the superseded information therein. <br /> Codification of the ordinances will involve a complete review of all <br /> the County ordinances by a staff of attorneys . This is done to <br /> eliminate all conflicts and inconsistencies between the ordinances and <br /> State and federal laws. Once reviewed, all inconsistencies will be <br /> reviewed with the County Attorney, County Manager and County Clerk. <br /> The code will then be set in type and thoroughly proofread for errors . <br /> They will be delivered in D-ring binders, and available on CD-ROM or <br /> disk. The County ordinances will reside on the Municipal Code home <br /> page and be available on the Internet . The entire procedure is <br /> outlined in the proposal from Municipal Code Corporation (MCC) that has <br /> been provided under separate cover with this agenda. <br />
