Editor's Notes

This section was amended by Ordinance 21-032, effective January 10, 2022, to require that the record of all property conveyances to the City and of all contracts and agreements made in relation to City property be maintained in a publicly accessible online database (rather than, as has long been the practice, in a “well-bound record book”).
