Final Legal Review of the Rolla Municipal Code
In June of 2023, Council approved the selection of General Code for codification services and comprehensive legal analysis to ensure the city code was compliant with current State Statutes. The last time this had been completed was September of 1988 (ordinance 2633) and was long overdue.
City Administration and Staff believe this should be a living document and regularly updated to ensure compliance with evolving laws and maintain effective governance. Regular updates help address emerging issues, reflect societal trends, and adapt to changing demographics. This update will also enhance efficiency and transparency. The goal of this update is to ensure our ordinances reflect the needs and priorities of our residents while also mitigating legal risks and liabilities. On 12-09-2025 Planning and Zoning had a public hearing regarding this final draft and voted to recommend approval. The last step in this long process, is for Council to finalize the changes by Ordinance.
