Question 8. of the 2006 City Council Questions to Candidates
Have you read the entire Davis Municipal Code? Can you suggest an existing section of code that you would remove or rewrite?
-
Lamar Heystek: Actually, I have read most chapters of the Davis Municipal Code. I would rewrite Chapter 12 to include choice voting. We'd need to vote on a charter first, though. I support a charter vote as soon as possible.
-
Rob Roy: The Davis Municipal Code is on the wiki. I have read large portions of it but I cannot say that I have read it in its entirety. As far as the municipal code goes there is nothing that I would like to outright change.
-
Michael Levy: A more relevant question would be whether I've read the General Plan. That is the guiding regulation for the City of Davis. Given that the General Plan was intended to carry us through 2010, we need to begin a community wide process to determine what needs we have and how we choose to meet them for the next 10 years. The Municipal Code is the administrative document for the city. There are many relevant sections of the administrative code I've read, such as the affordable housing ordinance, the election ordinances, lawn sign ordinance, open container ordinance, agricultural mitigation ordinance, environmental regulations, right to farm and farmland preservation code, etc. There are 41 chapters in the Municipal Code. I would change the resale inspection rules to require an inspection at every point of sale, not just sale every 5 years.
-
Ruth Asmundson: No. That's why the city has a lawyer, to make sure the code is ok.
-
Stan Forbes: No.
