The city of Auburn administrative policies and procedures manual, hereafter referred to as “the manual,” together with all revisions thereof, is adopted by reference as the official administrative policies and procedures manual of the city of Auburn; a copy of said manual is on file with the city clerk and available for public inspection. (Ord. 4029 § 1, 1985.)

2.88.020 Revisions.

The manual is intended to be a flexible document, to serve as a guide to city personnel in the operation of the city’s business. It is understood that the manual will necessarily require revisions and updating from time to time in order to remain effective in assisting city personnel in answering daily operating questions and in making routine management decisions. Changes and revisions in the manual shall be made as required and approved by the personnel director subject to review by the mayor. (Ord. 4029 § 2, 1985.)

2.88.030 Conflicting provisions.

To the extent that any of the policies or procedures in the manual are inconsistent with ordinances of the city, the manual shall control as to administrative and executive matters, and the ordinances shall control as to legislative matters. In the event that there is any uncertainty as to whether a matter is legislative versus administrative and executive, the mayor shall be empowered to determine its status; provided, that the city council may, by a vote of a majority of the city council plus one, countermand that determination. (Ord. 5845 § 1, 2004; Ord. 4029 § 3, 1985.)

2.88.040 Effect of provisions.
