Interview with Duke Addicks , LMC Codification Manager
What is the latest news for LMC Codification?
The MN Basic Code for our smaller cities has been updated to be current with all legislative and court changes through March of 2010. This is the first update in five years, so we’re very excited.
What is the MN Basic Code (MBC)?
The MBC is a subscription service that provides a complete code of ordinances for small cities. There is no need for smaller cities to reinvent the wheel when in comes to their local ordinances. We’ve done all the work and really put our best thinking into these ordinances. All the city needs to do is sign up, pay the subscription fee and adopt a local ordinance putting the code into effect. Once they become an MBC city we’ll send out updates as the law and caselaw changes.
What is the ideal size for an MBC city?
The MBC is designed for cities under 1000 in population. We have cities as small as 50.
Why was the 2010 update to the MBC necessary?
Because the law changes. There are new state and federal court cases decided each year. When things change, city ordinances must change too—or create unwanted liability for cities.
How can a city subscribe to the MBC?
The first step is to contact our publisher and codification consultant Ray Bollhauer at 1-800-445-5588 or rbollhauer@amlegal.com.
