Kellyville, OK published its Code of Ordinances online in the eCodeALP online library! As a small town, Kellyville finds value in publishing its local laws to the eCodeALP online library. You can check out their code here: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/kellyvilleok/latest/overview

Why would a small town want to publish its Code of Ordinances online?

* Transparency in the Code of Ordinances promotes clearer interactions with local government and better compliance with local law.
* ALP's scrupulous editorial staff takes over the meticulous and time-consuming task of updating and publishing the Code of Ordinances, freeing up municipal staff to attend to the needs of residents.

Local governments have a difficult task. They must respond to the needs of their residents, but not every resident or government official agrees on what those needs are or how to meet them. To prevent chaos and make sure all opinions are heard, local governments rely on the procedures found in Robert's Rules of Order. Following Robert's Rules helps to keep meetings as streamlined and effective as possible.

You can get your copy of Robert's Rules of Order on USB in a searchable format at

Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised, 12th Edition
