Compensation for the Mayor and Council shall be paid beginning
January 1, 1971, at the annual rates to be adopted yearly by the Salary
and Wage Ordinance. Expenses for Councilmen and the Mayor shall not
be allowed except where they are described in detail for particular
duties or responsibilities and, where feasible, approved in advance
by the Council at a public meeting.
A director may serve as a division head without additional compensation.
Whenever a vacancy exists in the office of the head of any division
by resignation, removal, disability or otherwise, the director of
the department may fill such vacancy temporarily by appointing an
acting head of such division, who shall have and perform all the functions,
powers and duties of such division head until the office shall be
filled permanently.
No rule or regulation made by any department shall, except upon
written approval of the Mayor, take effect until at least 10 days
after it is filed with the Municipal Clerk as required by the Charter.
This limitation of time shall not apply, however, to any order, rule
or regulation which relates solely to the organization or internal
management of the municipal government or a part thereof. The Municipal
Clerk shall maintain a docket of all orders, rules and regulations
filed in his office, which docket shall show the name of the issuing
department, a brief description of the subject matter and the date
of filing.
Upon the termination of the term of office or the employment
of any officer, employee or board member, he shall forthwith deliver
to his successor, or if there be no successor, to the Clerk or other
person who may be designated by the Council to receive the same, all
moneys, books, papers, memoranda, accounts and any data of any nature
whatever pertaining to his office.
