A “municipal order” is “an official act of the legislative body of a municipality which is binding upon the officers and employees of the municipality and any governmental agency over which the municipality has jurisdiction”, as set forth in KRS 83A.010(9).
Municipal Orders are less formal and detailed than ordinances. An order can never be used when an ordinance is required. However, a city can pass an ordinance when an order will suffice. They do not have civil or criminal penalties because they are only binding upon city officers, employees of the city and agencies under the city’s control. Therefore, the penalties for violating an order are often dismissal, suspension, demotion, reprimand, or removal from office.
Any matter relating to the internal operation of city government over which the legislative body has control can be addressed by municipal order, unless the statues require the use of an ordinance. Some examples of common uses include appointing board members, establish rules of parliamentary procedure to govern the conduct of legislative body meetings, establish a holiday for city personnel, disapprove administrative regulations promulgated by the mayor or establish rules and regulations of a city agency the legislative body has control over.
These Orders appear in order most recently passed.
