PREFACE
The Cupertino Municipal Code, originally published by Book
Publishing Company in 1973, has been kept current by regular
supplementation.
During original codification, the ordinances were compiled, edited
and indexed by the editorial staff of Book Publishing Company under the
direction of Mr. David H. Adams, city attorney.
The code is organized by subject matter under an expandable three-
factor decimal numbering syst,~m which is designed to facilitate
supplementation without disturbing the numbering of existing provisions.
Each section number designates, in sequence, the numbers of the title,
chapter, and section. Thus, Section 17.12.050 is Section .050, located in
Chapter 17.12 of Title 17. In most .instances, sections are numbered by tens
(.010, .020, .030, etc.), leaving nine vacant positions between original
sections to accommodate future provisions. Similarly, chapters and titles
are numbered to provide for internal expansion.
In parentheses following each section is a legislative history
identifying the specific sources fir the provisions of that section. This
legislative history is complemented by an ordinance disposition table,
following the text of the code, listing by number all ordinances, their
subjects, and where they appear ir.~ the codification.
Footnotes referring to applicable statutory provisions are located
throughout the text. A subject-matter index, with complete cross-
referencing, locates specific code provisions by individual section
numbers.
This supplement brings the c:ode up to date through Ordinance 1896,
passed May 20, 2002.
