Printed herein is the city Charter as adopted by Ordinance No. 91-12-01, ratified
by referendum January 2002, and amended by Ordinance No. 2003-07-01, ratified by referendum
September 2003. Amendments are indicated by parenthetical history notes following
amended provisions. The absence of a history note indicates that the provision remains
unchanged from the original. Obvious misspellings have been corrected without notation.
For stylistic purposes, headings and catchlines have been made uniform and the same
system of citations to state statutes and expression of numbers in text as appears
in the Code of Ordinances has been used. A consistent scheme of capitalization has
also been used. Additions for clarity are indicated by brackets.
