Title

Approval of Ordinance 2016-08 to Amend the City of Smyrna Code of Ordinances Chapter 2, Article II, Division IV, Section 2-115: Purpose

Body

ISSUE:  Recommendation to change the name 'recorder's court' to 'municipal court'

 

BACKGROUND: The City of Smyrna Charter creates and empowers a municipal court. The Charters refers to the court as the municipal court 16 times, while it uses the term recorder's court only once.  Changing the name in Section 2-115 will increase consistency between the Charter and the Code of Ordinances.

 

RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION:  Staff recommends approval.
