City Ordinances

Ordinances are local laws dealing with matters, such as traffic, zoning, health and safety regulations, governmental organization, annexation, building and other construction codes, licenses, user fees, etc.  Once an ordinance is adopted, it can only be amended through enactment of another ordinance, and all ordinances must be published in the City's official newspaper (The Herald Independent) before they become effective.  Most ordinances of a general nature are compiled in a volume entitled the City of Monona Code of Ordiances or simply the "City Code."  The code is updated whenever revised.
