Ordinance DataBase Search through our Ordinance DataBase spanning over 160 years from the present to the first ordinance passed in 1839. This database has over 15,000 records with descriptions, bill sponsors, dates introduced, keywords, bill numbers, ordinance numbers (if passed) and the final vote count. The Ordinance Database also has storage space for Council Minutes and Council Agendas in separate SQL tables. We began keeping electronic versions of these records in 1993 and as time and funds permit we will eventually add all those past records to the database. You can even send a copy or copies of each set of minutes and agendas to yourself or others via email!
