You will learn about the City’s policy making process, what is the difference between an ordinance and a resolution? What is a City Code Chapter? How is a City policy approved?, and more.
This event will rely on publicly available information about the City of Portland policy drafting process, particularly on the ‘Drafting manual for ordinances, resolutions and reports’, maintained by the City Auditor’s Office. This manual can be directly downloaded in this link.
