Draft chapter 1: Code of Ordinances
§ 1.07 Extension Of Authority
The 2026 draft's § 1.07 beside the current code's § 1.07: removed words are struck through, added words underlined.
Comparison with a draft: not adopted. The archive holds no public hearing, ordinance or vote adopting the recodified Code through the October 20, 2026 meeting packet. Until one is adopted, every page here compares the consolidated code with a draft that can still change: the revised draft with the October 6 changes is not in the archive.
A comparison with the August 2026 draft recodification prepared by Iowa Codification for the City. The draft has not been adopted and can still change; the current code (unofficial compilation) governs until a recodified Code is adopted. Matches between sections are made by machine from the texts and are reviewed where uncertain.
Wording changed wording changed (83% same words)
The city's explanation
“The final draft specifically provides that authorized assistants, subordinates, or duly authorized designees may perform duties assigned to City officers or employees.”
What changed
Word-level comparison of the current text with the draft's; spacing and paragraph breaks come from the documents' text. Footnotes are left out.
