Summary:
During 2016, as part of the citywide “code scrub” effort to review City Code for necessary updates, members of City Council and representatives of the executive branch convened working committee to review the provisions of Chapter 1 (Administration) and certain provisions of other chapters that are administrative in nature. As a result of that review, the group recommends a number of changes to certain administrative provisions of City Code.
This ordinance amends Section 1.2.401 of Chapter 1, specifying certain elements of the City Attorney’s authority to employ assistants and special counsel.
