The City will also notify by:
- Providing email notification of the proposed ordinances. If you’re interested, you may sign up for ordinance notifications.
- Offering a hard copy, available upon request, of the ordinance at IGH City Hall. Visit the front counter to request,

Check Back Often for Summaries of New Proposed Ordinances
Any revisions to proposed ordinances appear in City Council agenda packets for the second and third readings of proposed ordinances. A "reading" refers to when a proposed ordinance is reviewed during a City Council meeting. During the review process, the public has the opportunity to provide feedback and comments on proposed ordinances. You can find out when public hearings and ordinance readings take place by visiting our Agenda Center.

Proposed Ordinance - Amending Mississippi River Critical Corridor Policy and Guidelines
The City of Inver Grove Heights holds that the Mississippi River corridor is a unique and valuable national resource.

In furtherance of this, the City of Inver Grove Heights proposes adopting updated policy and guidelines for the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area consistent with Minnesota Rule 6106 adopted in 2017. In order to maintain consistency with state rules and the City's adopted comprehensive plan, Title 10, Chapter 13, Article C of the Inver Grove Heights City Code adopted on 11-08-2004 by ordinance 1098 would be repealed in its entirety and replaced.
