Sec. 2-143Penalty for violation
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.
Any officer or employee of the city who spends or creates financial liability beyond the budgeted amount on behalf of the city shall be in violation and will be personally liable for the expenditure or liability beyond the budgeted amount. Furthermore, a violation of any provision of this article shall be determined a violation of the city personnel policy and shall be deemed sufficient grounds for discharge.
