Unfortunately, the above ordinance contained a typographical error citing Chapter 35 A.12 of RC14 rather than properly citing Chapter 35 A.13. Accordingly, Ordinance No. 1832 was passed on December 4, 1976 correcting this error. A copy of it was likewise sent to the Secretary of State's office. I am writing to determine whether or not your office does furnish each city which has elected to become a non -charter code city, with some certification indicating that it is in fact a code city and has complied to all applicable statuatory requirements. Inasmuch as we have not received any formal notification from your office, we are not quite certain what final steps are to be taken before the designation becomes official. This is of some consequence to us since the City will be utilizing a number of additional powers such as serving warrants outside the City once we are certain that the new designation is official. We would therefore appreciate some indication from your office that the City is now an official non -charter code city. Thank you for your consideration of this request. ince rely, Geor e D.
