Daley Violates Ordinance?

They got Al Capone on tax evasion charges. Maybe we can get Daley on a quasi-criminal complaint? From an e-mail:
  • In doing some research for an investigation I'm conducting I noticed this City of Chicago ordinance specifically addressed to a Police Officer killed in the line-of duty. Do any of you guys know when the last time this was actually done.

    2-84-440 Memorial services.

    Upon loss of life in the line of duty of any police officer, a memorial service shall be held outside the main entrance (LaSalle Street) of City Hall in which participants shall be the mayor, the commissioner of police, and the alderman or aldermen representing the ward(s) in which said officer lived and/or worked. During such memorial, the official City of Chicago flag shall be flown at half-mast, and the name of the police officer shall be read while Taps are played. Immediately thereafter, said flag shall be lowered and given to the local station where said police officer was assigned, and then presented to the survivors of said police officer as a tribute. In the event of inclement weather the ceremony may be held in the lobby of City Hall.

    (Prior code § 11-4; Added Coun. J. 3-25-86, p. 28874)
This is still an active ordinance. Can anyone at the City Hall detail recall this being done in the past few decades? We can't even recall on old-timer even mentioning this ceremony.
