Clear, legally sound ordinances and resolutions are essential to effective local governance—and City Clerks are at the center of ensuring these documents are accurate, compliant, and ready for adoption. Join us for a practical, skill-building webinar designed specifically for City Clerks who want to strengthen their drafting expertise and confidence. In this session, we’ll walk through the fundamentals of writing and formatting ordinances and resolutions, highlight key differences between the two, and share best practices for clarity, consistency, and legal sufficiency. We’ll also explore common pitfalls, review real-world examples, and provide tips for managing amendments, tracking versions, and supporting your governing body throughout the legislative process. Whether you’re new to drafting or looking to refine your approach, this webinar offers clear, actionable guidance you can apply right away.
