CLASSIFICATION CATEGORIES
City Code section 1.07.040 authorizes the City Auditor to organize the PPD by subject matter. Policies and rules filed for inclusion in the PPD are assigned by the Auditor to a classification category. Classification categories are based on the general subject matter of the document. The letter based prefix system allows for flexibility and provides easy identification of policy categories. The Auditor will amend the category listing as necessary to provide for future growth.

As rules are entered into the PPD, subcategories will also be assigned to allow easy identification of types of rules and policies.
The Auditor will publish the PPD on the Auditor's Office web page. Policies and rule will be indexed in a number of different ways:
Per Portland City Code Section 1.07.030 the Auditor will also maintain a paper copy of the PPD. Documents in the paper PPD will be indexed numerically by Category. The paper PPD will be available for review in the Auditor's Office during normal working hours.
