2 <br /> (7) Any ordinance adopted pursuant to G.S. 153A-145, Limitations on regulating cisterns <br /> and rain barrels. <br /> (8) Any ordinance regulating trees. <br /> In considering the recommended changes, the Board may wish to examine the full section of the <br /> ordinance in addition to the subsections shown on Attachment 1. Due to the number of sections in need <br /> of amendment or re-adoption, it is not practical to attach the entire 600 plus Code of Ordinances. The <br /> Board and the public may view the Code of Ordinances at this link. Each section may be accessed by <br /> clicking the Chapters linked on the left hand side of the page. <br /> In order to comply with the provisions of subsection (bl) of the session law, the following ordinances <br /> should have the misdemeanor penalties removed from the ordinance. <br /> • Code of Ordinances --- First Reading --- Text Amendments as reflected in Attachment 1 <br /> o Chapter 1; Section 1-7 - General Penalties --- Language amended <br /> o Chapter 8; Section 8-42 — Regulation of Massage Businesses --- Misdemeanor language <br /> replaced by civil penalty <br /> o Chapter 8; Section 8-81 — Tax on Gross Receipts for the lease or rental of motor vehicles <br /> --- Misdemeanor language removed <br /> o Chapter 8; Section 8-100 — Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses --- Misdemeanor <br /> language replaced by civil penalty <br /> o Chapter 8; Section 8-122 — Regulation of Mobile Food Vending Businesses --- <br /> Misdemeanor language replaced by civil penalty <br /> o Chapter 18; Section 18-156 — Weapons --- Clarifies possession on County property is a <br /> misdemeanor rather than relying on the general language in Section 1-7 <br /> There is consensus among local government attorneys that the substantial change in the manner in <br /> which ordinances that have a misdemeanor penalty are adopted into law should be addressed by the <br /> governing board, out of an abundance of caution, by re-adopting those provisions under the new <br /> method.
