[Amended 5-21-1986 by Ord. No. O-15A-86]
Compensation for the Mayor and Council shall
be paid as set forth in the current Salary and Wage Ordinance in effect
for their respective offices. Expenses for Councilmen and the Mayor shall be allowed
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

the head of any division by resignation, removal, disability or otherwise,
the Mayor 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 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. 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.
Each department head shall have power, except
as otherwise specifically provided, to suspend subordinate officers
and employees within the department, subject to applicable rules and
regulations of the Personnel Ordinance and civil service.
Upon the termination of the term of office or
the employment of any officer, employee or board member, he shall
forthwith within 10 days 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.
