This event occurred on Aug. 18, 2023. See below for instructions on how to purchase a recording of the event.
Presented by Cal Cities City Attorneys Department and the Attorney Development and Succession Committee
You’ve been asked to draft your first ordinance or resolution. You know your work will be presented to your city council. What do you do? What process should you follow? What are the things you need to know to ensure your ordinance or resolution is properly drafted and legally defensible?
Join us for a discussion about the essential “dos” and “don’ts” for drafting ordinances and resolutions. We will cover the basics, legal standards, and best practices for preparing these important legislative documents. Essential Hour is a presentation of the Attorney Development and Succession Committee, Substantive Law Subcommittee, of the City Attorneys Department.
