ITEM 6.A.
Council Action: 8/12/2019
Description

Ordinance to amend Chapter 8.21 - Theft of the 2015 Municipal Code, by amending Section 8.21.030 "Value" and Section 8.21.042 "Computer Theft".
Background/Discussion

Amending this Chapter is in response to the passing of legislation on theft related charges and the increase of the maximum amount of each offense that became effective on July 1, 2019.

Our code has the value for a Theft-5th simple misdemeanor as “$200 or less” and the new law raised that maximum to “$300.00 or less”.

This amendment will bring our City Code up to date with the newly passed legislation.

Recommendation

Approval of this ordinance.
