Ordinances & Resolutions

The ordinances of Johns Creek, Georgia, are the laws enacted by the City Council for the purpose of conducting the affairs of the City. For example, ordinances include rules and regulations regarding zoning, building, alcoholic beverages, taxes and budgets.

They are codified on a quarterly basis and incorporated into the overall City Code.

Resolutions 

The Johns Creek City Council regularly adopts resolutions – written motions – as it conducts its business as the legislative authority of the City.  A resolution deals with matters of special or temporary character.  It formally expresses the governing body’s opinion or will adopted by an official vote.  Resolutions are confined to one subject and record official administration actions not supported by the city’s charter or Code of Ordinances.  (GMA City Clerk Handbook – do we need to site?)

Resolutions are public records. Copies can be obtained by visiting Munidocs or contacting the City Clerk’s Office.
