Ordinances

Ordinances provide legal action and historical context for code sections. Common ordinance fields include:

ordinance_id
ordinance_number
ordinance_number_normalized
adoption_date
effective_from
status

The API uses ordinances as both direct resources and lineage-linked context records. For non-technical evaluators, ordinances are the bridge between codified text and legal change history.

For developers

Developer-facing implementation serves ordinance detail from canonical ordinance records with summary projections for list/search workflows.
