Ordinances relate to public utilities, city departments and officials, city finances, crimes and nuisances, business licenses, zoning and building codes, etc.
Research Note

Early ordinances are accompanied by documents showing proof of publication. Beginning in about 1990 related documents, such as zoning maps, are filed together with relevant ordinances.
