The City Council has a variety of options when considering action on a subject of interest. Ordinances, Resolutions, and Proclamations are three common solutions. Along with the full text of the Lacey Municipal Code, all Ordinances, Resolutions, and Proclamations are available online.
An Ordinance is a municipal law adopted by the Lacey City Council that may be amended or repealed by the adoption of another ordinance. An ordinance takes effect five days after its publication in the city’s official newspaper, except in the case of an emergency. Most ordinances are incorporated into the Lacey Municipal Code.
A Resolution is adopted by the Lacey City Council and is generally used to express City Council policy, direct administrative or legal action, or to make a public statement.
A Proclamation may be used to call attention to certain events or causes when such statements may positively impact the community and convey an affirmative message to Lacey community members.
The Council will consider requests to proclaim certain events or causes, when such proclamations positively impact the community and convey an affirmative message to Lacey community members. Proclamations that are political in nature, that are controversial, or that likely would not enjoy a high level of community interest and support, are discouraged.
