City Law Incorporation Tracker
Track and manage incorporation of city legislative changes into master documents.
About This Page
When the City Council passes an amendment to city ordinances, the master document (typically a Google Doc or PDF) needs to be manually updated to reflect the changes. This page tracks which changes are still pending incorporation and maintains a log of completed updates.
How to mark a change as incorporated
Option 1: Using the CMS (recommended)
- Update the master document — Click the law name below to open the Google Doc/PDF, then edit it to reflect the legislative change(s).
- Open the CMS — Go to City Law Incorporations Log in the CMS (Data → City Law Incorporations Log).
- Add an entry to the list — Click the "Add incorporations +" button. For "Change Article Slugs", search by title and select one or more city acts that you incorporated. You can select multiple acts if you incorporated several changes at once.
- Select the city law — Use the "City Law Identifier" dropdown to select which city law's master document was updated.
- Fill in details and save — Set the date/time, enter your name, add optional notes, then click "Publish".
Option 2: Direct file edit (for advanced users)
Edit city-law-incorporations.yml on GitHub directly. Add entries in this format:
- change_slugs:
- first-city-act-slug-here
- second-city-act-slug-here
law_slug: PASTE-LAW-SLUG-HERE
incorporated_at: 2025-11-28 12:00:00 +00:00
incorporated_by: Your Name
notes: Optional notesTip: Use the "Copy change slug" button on each pending item to get the exact slug needed.
Use change_slugs (array) for multiple acts, or change_slug (string) for a single act.
