Since September 2022, the committee has worked to rid the code of outdated language, typos, duplications, and conflicts — including the addition of gender-neutral language throughout.
The changes addressed gender-neutral language, outdated items that no longer apply to the city, and occurrences of redundancy. A number of items were also tabled to collect more information.
At its second meeting on Monday, the panel was given a presentation from Zachary Dumont of General Code, a company that offers codification services and has been working with Pittsfield for about 17 years.
