FROM: Daniel C. Kogovsek, City Attorney
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 9169 TO CORRECT A
NUMBERING ERROR IN SAID ORDINANCE
SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 9169 to correct a numbering error in said
ordinance, specifically amending the language designating Contempt of Court as “Section 11,
Chapter 6 of Title I” to “Section 12, Chapter 6 of Title I.”
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council previously passed and approved Ordinance No. 9169 on September 11, 2017.
BACKGROUND:
Council approved Ordinance No. 9169 to set forth contempt of court as a separate and distinct
municipal offense. The ordinance designated Contempt of Court to be included in the Pueblo
Municipal Code as a new Section 11, Chapter 6 of Title I. However, that section number was
previously approved for and houses the provision related to the Municipal Court Marshal. The
section numbering in Ordinance No. 9169 should be corrected to resolve this conflict, where
Contempt of Court becomes Section 12, Chapter 6 of Title I.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may choose not to approve this Ordinance in which case, the conflict between the
two enacted provisions will continue.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance.
Attachments:
Proposed Ordinance.
