Springfield Township codes and ordinances will soon be available anywhere wireless internet can be found.
Township Board approved a contract of up to $11,500 with Municipal Code Corporation, at its March 11 meeting.
‘They’ll provide them in the format we want them to,? said Clerk Laura Moreau. ‘I think it’s the right thing to do.?
‘Their willingness to work with us says a lot about them,? said Supervisor Mike Trout.
As part of the service, the contractor will work with township attorney Greg Need to identify and clean up duplicate and conflicting ordinances.
The project will also include zoning ordinance updates by planning consultant Richard Carlisle, for a one-time consulting fee of $5,000-$5,900. The zoning ordinances will also be uploaded by Municipal Code.
‘That’s what we want to do above all else,? Trout said. ‘That’s what’s looked at every day.?
Municipal Code, based in Tallahassee, Fla., with regional office in Portage, Mich., charges $400 per year for web maintenance and hosting. They uploaded ordinances for Independence, Oxford, Holly, and Groveland townships. When complete, ordinances will be available with search functions at www.springfield-twp.us, as well as in book form.
