Title
SUBSTITUTE - Amending and repealing various sections of the Madison General Ordinances to correct inconsistencies and improper references in the Madison General Ordinances, constituting the 2007 City Attorney Reviser's Ordinance.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This is the annual City Attorney's Reviser's ordinance, correcting certain parts of the Madison General Ordinances (MGO), the City's code of ordinances. The proposed changes are as follows:

1. Sec. 3.08, MGO, currently states that the City Engineer is a civil service position. This ordinance corrects this by reference to the portion of the ordinances that covers employment contracts for Comp Group 21 employees.

2. Sec. 8.24(1)(a), MGO, has an obscure and outdated reference to an exception to the alcohol beverage rules in Penn Park. It is eliminated in this ordinance.

3. Sec. 9.13(6)(a) references dates on which various resolutions were adopted, two of which are listed incorrectly. This ordinance corrects those typographical errors.

4. Secs. 12.39 and 12.40, MGO, govern right and left turn prohibitions in the City. These sections have not been kept up to date because they are governed by state law which states that it is illegal to make left or right turns wherever prohibited by traffic signs. The sections are being repealed in this ordinance.

5. Sec. 25.01(11), MGO, purports to ban the purchase and sale of handguns and handgun ammunition within the City. The City no longer has the authority to adopt such an ordinance, pursuant to Wis. Stat. sec. 66.0409. The subsection is repealed by this ordinance.

6. Sec. 33.07(6)(b), MGO, has a sunset provision regarding City construction of Metro bus shelters. In fact, the City has continued to operate as if the ordinance is in effect. In order to conform to current practice, the sunset provision is repealed in this ordinance.
