Century Plans To Post Town Ordinances Online

March 10, 2011

The Town of Century is in the process of publishing its municipal codes online.

The town will spend $1,418 for the Municipal Code Corporation to publish seven copies of a printed supplement containing updates to the town’s ordinances. The town will also spend $500 per year for Municode.com to publish those ordinances online in a searchable format for the public. The yearly fee will includes updates each time a new ordinance is approved.

The Municipal Code Corporation is one of the nation’s largest municipal code publication companies. The company currently provides code services for hundreds of governments, including Escambia and Santa Rosa counties and Pensacola.

    i think the town would be wise to spend this money in investing in a web site for the town of century where they can post the ordinances, minutes, anything that pertains to the town could be posted on this site. If u will get on line u will find that most towns have a web site and it is very useful.

    Hopefully they will post a minimum fine for each code infraction.
    Then the city lawyer can pursue the fines in a Civil matter.

    Interesting, Century is moving into the 21st century. The only problem is that the town’s regulations are nothing more than a toothless paper tiger because it has no way to enforce its criminal code without a police department.
