§ 1-6. Incorporation of state law.

(a)

Adoption by reference. Statutes or administrative rules or regulations of the state or of the federal government, their respective agencies or departments, and codes and ordinances adopted by reference in this Code are adopted under or granted by Minn. Stats. § 471.62 and by such reference shall be incorporated in and made a part of this Code. One copy of any rule, ordinance or code so adopted, unless more copies are required by law, shall be kept by the city clerk for review by the public and the city clerk shall furnish a copy at cost to any person upon request.

(b)

Relation to state law. The provisions of this Code are to be construed as the fullest exercise of the regulatory and other powers granted to the city and its officers by state law unless otherwise provided. When this Code imposes a more stringent standard or rule of conduct than imposed by state law, it is intended that the provisions of this Code prevail over the state law, rule or regulation to the extent permitted by law.

(c)

Reference to state statute. Use of the words Minn. Stats. in this Code shall mean and refer to the latest edition or supplement of the Minnesota Statutes. The numbers following those letters shall refer to the designated chapter or section of the Minnesota Statutes.
