An ordinance is a local law. Although the method of enacting an ordinance will vary from municipality to municipality, they are generally passed by a legislative body (city council) and signed by a city executive (mayor), and subsequently enforced by local police and district attorneys.

Resolutions are non-binding, unenforcible, statements made by a municipalities legislative body. They are often not signed or endorsed by the city executive. Resolutions are often used to persuade other legislative bodies (State or Federal) to adopt legislation that is beyond the powers of the local body.
