ITEM:

Discussion and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 434.  An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, amending sections of Chapter 2.20 of the City Code to include the Chief of Police in the classified service; repealing any conflicting provisions; and providing for severability.  (Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney)

A. Action on Ordinance No. 434 by title only
    (City Clerk to read Ordinance No. 434 by title only)
B. Action on Ordinance No. 434

SUMMARY:

The current City Code § 2.20.020 states that:
"The Chief of Police shall be appointed by the City Manager, whose appointment shall be confirmed by the City Council, and shall serve at the pleasure of the City Manager on terms and conditions as may be approved by the City Council. The Chief of Police shall be subject to the direction of the City Manager."
 
In this item, the ordinance before the City Council today has that the City Manager appoints the Chief of Police and includes the position in the classified service.
 
Other changes:
The ordinance amends City Code § 2.20.010 to take out the reference to "Marshal," which only applies to towns under ARS § 9-237. Under ARS § 9-271, once the population hit 3,000, the Chief of Police can be designated.

The ordinance removes language that is not necessary for City Code § 2.20-030 once the position is in the classified service. The change is shown as stricken:
 
 "The Chief of Police and the police officers of the City shall be compensated as determined by the Council. The Chief of Police shall not receive any perquisites, commissions or compensations for his or her services as Chief of Police or City Marshal, except as the Council may prescribe.

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

A.  I MOVE TO APPROVE THE READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 434 BY TITLE ONLY.
     (City Clerk to read Ordinance No. 434 by title only.)
B.  I MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 434.
