Needs a look
A vague rule that no one follows weakens accountability rather than strengthening it. See the fix
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.
All officers shall make quarterly financial reports to the city council, in writing, of all sums of money or other property received by them, and all sums paid out by them. They shall also report all charges that occur in connection with their office, in favor of, or against the city. They shall make quarterly reports in writing to the city council of their actions, and pay over all moneys or other things received by them to proper officers. On failure of any officer to comply with this section, he shall be liable to be dealt with for malfeasance in office.
