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.
In lieu of appointing a police chief and a separate fire chief, the city council may combine the leadership of the police and fire department under a director of public safety. The director of public safety shall be both the fire chief and the police chief and shall carry out the duties of the chief of each department as determined by and law.
