Title
Amending various sections of the Madison General Ordinances to correct inconsistencies and improper references in the Madison General Ordinances, constituting a 2025 City Attorney Revisor’s Ordinance.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This City Attorney Revisor’s Ordinance corrects certain parts of the Madison General Ordinances (MGO), the City's code of ordinances.
The proposed changes in this ordinance are as follows:
· Section 2.38(3) is amended to fix an MGO reference.
· Section 12.045(4) is amended to correct an omission that occurred when ORD-17-00099 (File No. 46249) was adopted in 2017. That ordinance change eliminated the cross-referenced code language, and this amendment should have occurred as part of that ordinance change. This change corrects that omission and reconciles the language with the standards in place before that ordinance change.

· Section 25.07(2) is amended to fix a location title.

· Section 33.24(15)(e)12. is amended to fix MGO references.
· Section 39.02(2) is amended to correct a grammatical error.
