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 the event that the city receives a notice of address discrepancy, the city employee responsible for verifying consumer addresses for the purpose of providing the municipal service or account sought by the consumer shall perform one or more of the following activities, as determined to be appropriate by such employee:
(1) Compare the information in the consumer report with:
a. Information the city obtains and uses to verify a consumer's identity in accordance with the requirements of the Customer Information Program rules implementing 31 U.S.C. § 5318(1);
b. Information the city maintains in its own records, such as applications for service, change of address notices, other customer account records or tax records; or
c. Information the city obtains from third-party sources that are deemed reliable by the relevant city employee; or
(2) Verify the information in the consumer report with the consumer.
