Plain English: what this chapter covers
Chapter 2 covers how city government runs: when the council meets and how residents can speak, the ethics code and how to file a complaint, rules for city employees (including drug testing and the city minimum wage), budgeting and purchasing limits, city credit cards, the Community Relations Commission, and how the city protects utility customers' personal information.
(a) The city shall not enter into any contract with any person or business represented by such person, who has been within the preceding 24-month period a member of the governing authority, unless the contract is awarded by competitive bid or a committee selection process.
