This section of the User’s Guide discusses the organization and features of the MBC to assist City Council and staff in utilizing and understanding the MBC.
Arrangements and Numbering
The Minnesota Basic Code of Ordinances is divided into eight odd-numbered titles, each devoted to a particular topic of municipal law. The titles include the following topics: Title I - General Provisions; Title III - Administration; Title V - Public Works; Title VII - Traffic Code; Title IX - General Regulations; Title XI - Business Regulations; Title XIII - General Offenses Code; and Title XV - Land Usage.
Titles are divided into chapters, and all chapters are subdivided into sections. A citation to a specific section identifies the title, chapter and section number of the Basic Code of Ordinances provision being cited. For example, “72.11" refers to section 11 of Chapter 72 in Title VII. Title and chapter number appear to the left of the decimal: the title number precedes the first digit to the left of the decimal, and the chapter number constitutes all numerals to the left of the decimal. The section number appears to the right of the decimal. As another example, “138.05" indicates that the citation refers to section 05 of Chapter 138 in Title XIII.
Newly created sections subsequent to the original Basic Code of Ordinances may be indicated by three digits to the right of the decimal in the event that the law properly belongs between two consecutively numbered sections. For example, § 73.011 would follow § 73.01 and would precede § 73.02.
The purpose of this title is to create consistency throughout the code, and the provisions of Title I apply to all titles of the code. Thus, the general provisions of Title I will not be repeated throughout the code unless a variation of the provision applies to a particular code provision. Title I contains provisions concerning general definitions, rules of construction, the effect of amendment or repeal, the construction of section references, conflicting provisions, severability, reference to offices, errors and omissions, ordinances repealed, ordinances unaffected, ordinances saved, application to future ordinances, interpretation, amendments to the code, amendatory language, explanation of statutory references, preservation of penalties, offenses, rights and liabilities, and a general penalty.
Penalty provisions have been given a section number of .99. A general penalty has been provided at § 10.99. This general penalty will apply when no other penalty has been specifically provided for in another provision of this code.
“Cross-references” direct the user to subject matter related to certain Basic Code of Ordinances provisions contained within another section or chapter of the Basic Code of Ordinances.
The Minnesota Basic Code of Ordinances includes headers on each page. Headers on even- numbered pages will indicate the name of the title being consulted. Example: “Minnesota Basic Code of Ordinances - Traffic Code.” Headers on odd-numbered pages will indicate the name of the Chapter being consulted. Example: “Parking Regulations.”
Title and Chapter Analysis
A Table of Contents, giving the name of each chapter within the title and the respective chapter numbers, can be located on the first page of each title. A Chapter Analysis, giving section headings and the respective section numbers, can be located on the first page of each Chapter. Thus, if a user wants to search for a specific regulation regarding overnight parking, the user could bypass the general index and go directly to the Table of Contents at the beginning of Title VII. A quick scan down the Title’s Table of Contents would identify Chapter 71 as “Parking Regulations.” The user could then go directly to Chapter 71 and scan the Chapter Analysis for the appropriate section heading.
The table entitled “References to Minnesota Statutes” and the “Table of Authorities” enables a user to trace those citations to Minnesota Statutes (cited as M.S. in the MBC) which appear throughout the MBC. These features enable a user to quickly and accurately determine if a statute is adopted by reference or otherwise cited in the MBC.
The table entitled “References to Minnesota Rules” and the “Table of Authorities” enable a user to locate all citations to Minnesota Rules (cited as Minn. Rules in the MBC) which appear throughout the MBC. These features enable a user to quickly and accurately determine if a rule is adopted by reference or otherwise cited in the MBC.
Copies of the statutes and rules referred to in the MBC should be kept in the City Clerk's office in order for the adoption by reference of them to be meaningful.
The Index contains references to all Basic Code of Ordinances provisions currently in effect. Index references cite section numbers.
Adopting Additional Ordinance
Future ordinances that the city wishes to adopt after adoption of the MBC, on subjects not covered by the MBC should also be codified as part of Title XVII. The League of Minnesota Cities provides sample ordinances from other jurisdictions as well as model ordinances on a variety of subjects as a free service to its members. The League’s codification attorney is also available for a fee to review, for legality and content, a city’s ordinances or amendments. Before an ordinance is codified in Title XVII of the MBC, it should be reviewed by the League or by the city’s own attorney.

Questions about the Minnesota Basic Code of Ordinances and its contents can be sent to the Research Department, League of Minnesota Cities, 145 University Ave. W., St. Paul, MN 55103-2044, or via email to research@lmc.org. Corrections or suggestions for improvement are solicited, along with suggestions for model ordinances which should be included in future supplements and editions.

If city wants to provide for administrative fines, adopted model resolution at Appendix VI.
Notified LMC Codification Service of MBC Adoption using form at Appendix VII.
The Model Ordinance Adopting the Minnesota Basic Code of Ordinances found at Appendix III repeals all ordinances which were adopted by the city prior to the adoption of the MBC that are not listed in Section 3 of the Model Ordinance Adopting the MBC.
As a result, the city should review its current ordinances and determine if it wishes to retain any of these older ordinances. If the city wishes to retain (not repeal) these ordinances they must be codified as part of the MBC in section XVII and listed in Section 3 of the Model Ordinance Adopting the MBC.
Prior to codifying these ordinances, the city should obtain legal review of the ordinances. Legal review is essential because old or archaic ordinances may create liability for the city or may be ruled unenforceable by a court of law, because they do not meet current legal standards.
The League of Minnesota Cities Codification Service can review the city's existing ordinances for a fee to determine which should be continued and which should be repealed.
THE MINNESOTA BASIC CODE OF ORDINANCES
This model ordinance is provided as a general guide in drafting an ordinance for statutory cities adopting the Minnesota Basic Code of Ordinances. This adopting ordinance is for sample purposes and your city attorney should tailor this sample ordinance to conform to any specific local requirements related to ordinance adoption. (An electronic version of this ordinance can be found on the League’s website or by contacting American Legal Publishing.)
THE MBC AND ANY SUPPLEMENT TO IT MUST BE ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE BEFORE IT IS EFFECTIVE.
An ordinance adopting the city code must be adopted at a meeting of the City Council in the same manner as an ordinance on a specific subject is adopted. All publication requirements must be met. THE ENTIRE MBC IS NOT PUBLISHED, ONLY THE ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE MBC
Published notice is not required for statutory cities to adopt the MBC. Some city charters, city by-laws or rules of procedure will require notice of the hearing to be published.
Once the ordinance adopting the code has been passed, it must be published in the manner required by law for statutory cities and by the city charter if a charter city. The ordinance, for statutory cities, takes effect on the date of publication.
