Committee formed in Danbury to review how often to update statutes

A committee has been formed in Danbury to look into whether the City's Code of Ordinances should be updated annually.  The City Council in February adopted a revised document, updating it for the first time in 50 years.  City Councilman Warren Levy supports the concept of recodification and going through outdated regulations, but questioned if other members read through the 557 pages of changes before the vote.  He requested an ad hoc committee to look into hiring an outside service to update the code and review it annually to make sure the City is not in conflict with state statutes.  Levy noted that if the document was reviewed every year, it wouldn't be as time consuming to pair state statutes with City law and it wouldn't be as expensive.   The City Charter is different than the Code of Ordinances.  The Charter lays out different departments, but the way they operate is outlined in the Code of Ordinances.
