Scope and Contents
Municipal ordinances are the rules, regulations, or codes enacted into law by the Dallas City Council.

Resolutions deal with matters of a special or temporary character.
It is an expression of opinion or mind or policy concerning some particular item of business coming within City Council.
Ordinances are a legislative act that defines permanent rules of conduct or government.
An ordinance can be repealed only by another ordinance, not by a resolution.
If state law does not restrict election dates, the city council shall by ordinance
establish an election date in May of odd-numbered years.
The members elected shall compose the city council of the City of Dallas and shall serve for the terms provided in Chapter III of this Charter, or until their respective successors shall have been elected, qualified, and taken office.
