The City of Kramer has not examined or updated its ordinances in many years.  Some ordinances, which are still being declared functional, date to 1936.  You heard it right, 89 years ago.  That is changing.  Today, your city council is in process of transferring some of these fragile documents into digital format.  Our goal is to examine these laws and with your help, make them relevant and applicable to the 21st Century.  While our town, village or city is small (we have had all these titles since 1905), our streets are largely intact and solid, we have LED street lighting, we have a functional sewage system (although stressed) and a working garbage disposal system.  More importantly, we have YOU. 

Together, the citizens of Kramer can replace decades old code, ordinances, and resolutions with a new road map, focused on the future, focused on the city as a collective living entity.  It starts with the City Council being an active agent of change and advocate for you.  To make those changes, we need a meaningful and insightful city code, functional ordinances, and resolutions that make movement in the right direction quickly, openly, and effectively.  To pass a city ordinance in North Dakota, it needs to be read twice by the city governing body, with the second reading and final passage occurring at least one week after the first. A majority of the governing body members must concur in its passage. The enacting clause of the ordinance should read "Be it ordained by the Kramer City Council of the city of Kramer, North Dakota."
