A. The City Attorney is hereby authorized to adopt rules,
procedures and forms to assist in the implementation of the provisions of this
Chapter. B. Any rule adopted pursuant to this section shall require a
public review process. Not less than ten nor more than thirty days before
such public review process, notice shall be given by publication in a newspaper
of general circulation. Such notice shall include the place, time, and
purpose of the public review process and the location at which copies of the
full text of the proposed rules may be obtained.
C. During the public review, a designee of the City Attorney
shall hear testimony or receive written comment concerning the proposed
rules. The City Attorney shall review the recommendation of his or her
designee, taking into consideration the comments received during the public
review process, and shall either adopt the proposal, modify it or reject
it. If a substantial modification is made, additional public review shall
be conducted, but no additional notice shall be required if such additional
review is announced at the hearing at which the original comments are
received.
D. Unless otherwise stated, all rules shall be effective upon
adoption by the City Attorney and shall be filed in the office of the City
Auditor.
E. Notwithstanding paragraphs B and C of this section, an
interim rule may be adopted without prior notice upon a finding that failure to
act promptly will result in serious prejudice to the public interest or the
interest of the affected parties. The finding shall state the specific
reasons for such prejudice. Any rule adopted pursuant to this paragraph
shall be effective for a period of not longer than 180 days.
