Ordinances are acts of City Council establishing rules and regulations for the violation of which a penalty is imposed, and are required for such acts as authorizing the creation of new taxing authorities, creating or increasing franchise fees and taxes, and the borrowing of money.

Ordinances

Ordinances under consideration by the Centennial City Council are publicized in full on this website not less than three (3) days prior to the first reading of the ordinance. First reading of an ordinance may be by placement on the City Council’s Consent Agenda for such meeting.

A public hearing, at which comments from the public are heard, occurs with the second reading of the ordinance. The full text of the ordinance, with any amendments, is again publicized on this website within two (2) business days after final passage of the ordinance.
