PREFACE
This Code constitutes a recodiﬁcation of the general and permanent ordinances of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
Source materials used in the preparation of the Code were the 2012 Code, as
supplemented through May 16, 2012, and ordinances subsequently adopted by
the Community Council. The Code, consisting of chapters 1 through 24, was
adopted by SRO-441-2014 and effective as of April 17, 2014. Ordinances
adopted after SRO-433-2014 on December 4, 2013, have been incorporated into
this publication and were construed as if they amended or referred to like
provisions of the Code. The source of each section is included in the history
note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The absence of such a note
indicates that the section is new and was adopted for the ﬁrst time with the
adoption of the Code. By use of the comparative tables appearing in the back
of this Code, the reader can locate any section of the 1976 Code, 1981 Code and
2012 Code, as supplemented, and any subsequent ordinance included herein.
The chapters of the Code have been conveniently arranged, and the various
sections within each chapter have been catchlined to facilitate usage. Notes
which tie related sections of the Code together and which refer to relevant
sections of the Constitution have been included.
Chapter and Section Numbering System
The chapter and section numbering system used in this Code is the same
system used in many government codes. Each section number consists of two
parts separated by a dash. The ﬁgure before the dash refers to the chapter
number, and the ﬁgure after the dash refers to the position of the section
within the chapter. Thus, the second section of chapter 1 is numbered 1-2, and
the ﬁrst section of chapter 6 is 6-1. Under this system, each section is identiﬁed
with its chapter, and at the same time new sections can be inserted in their
proper place by using the decimal system for amendments. For example, if new
material consisting of one section that would logically come between sections
6-1 and 6-2 is desired to be added, such new section would be numbered 6-1.5.
New articles and new divisions may be included in the same way or, in the case
of articles, may be placed at the end of the chapter embracing the subject, and,
in the case of divisions, may be placed at the end of the article embracing the
subject. The next successive number shall be assigned to the new article or
division. New chapters may be included in the same manner.
Page Numbering System
The page numbering system used in this Code is a preﬁx system. The letters
to the left of the colon are an abbreviation which represents a certain portion
of the volume. The number to the right of the colon represents the number of
the page in that portion. In the case of a chapter of the Code, the number to the
left of the colon indicates the number of the chapter. In the case of an appendix
to the Code, the letter immediately to the left of the colon indicates the letter
of the appendix. The following are typical parts of codes of ordinances, which
may or may not appear in this Code at this time, and their corresponding
preﬁxes:

Indexes

The indexes have been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular
item has been placed under several headings, some of which are couched in lay
phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally
used by government officials and employees. There are numerous cross
references within the indexes themselves which stand as guideposts to direct
the user to the particular item in which the user is interested.
Looseleaf Supplements
A special feature of this publication is the looseleaf system of binding and
supplemental servicing of the publication. With this system, the publication
will be kept up to date. Subsequent amendatory legislation will be properly
edited, and the affected page or pages will be reprinted. These new pages will
be distributed to holders of copies of the publication, with instructions for the
manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages.
Keeping this publication up to date at all times will depend largely upon the
holder of the publication. As revised pages are received, it will then become the
responsibility of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to the
attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publisher that all
such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing
them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and ﬁled for historical
reference purposes.

Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)

From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page-for-page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

SUPPLEMENT HISTORY TABLE
The table below allows users of this Code to quickly and accurately
determine what ordinances have been considered for codification in each
supplement. Ordinances that are of a general and permanent nature are
codified in the Code Book and are considered "Includes." Ordinances that are
not of a general and permanent nature are not codified in the Code Book and
are considered "Omits."
By adding to this table with each supplement, users of this Municipal Code
will be able to gain a more complete picture of the Code's historical evolution.
