GLENDALE MUNICIPAL CODE: PREFACE

The Glendale Municipal Code, recodified by Book Publishing Company in 1995, has been kept current by regular supplementation by its successor in interest, Matthew Bender and Company, Inc.

During recodification, the ordinances were compiled, edited and in-deed by the editorial staff of Book Publishing Company under the direction of the city clerk and the city attorney.

The code is organized by subject matter under an expandable three-factor decimal numbering system which is designed to facilitate supplementation without disturbing the numbering of existing provisions. Each section number designates, in sequence, the numbers of the title, chapter, and section. Thus, Section 2.04.010 is Section .010, located in Chapter 2.04 of Title 2. In most instances, sections are numbered by tens (.010, .020, .030, etc.), leaving nine vacant positions between original sections to accommodate future provisions. Similarly, chapters and titles are numbered to provide for internal expansion.

In parentheses following each section is a legislative history identifying the specific sources for the provisions of that section. This legislative history is complemented by a prior code cross-reference table, which sets out the location of individual sections of the prior code, and an ordinance disposition table, following the text of the code, listing by number all ordinances, their subjects, and where they appear in the codification.

A subject-matter index, with complete cross-referencing, locates specific code provisions by individual section numbers.

This supplement brings the code up to date through Ordinance 5367, passed September 16, 2003.
