On March 25 2013 city council adopted ordinance 2013-40 containing the following provision:
Except to the extent required by federal or state law or for positions that the Council, by resolution, has determined should not be subject to this prohibition, no electronic or paper form or other document used by the City to solicit initial applications for City employment shall contain any question pertaining to an applicant’s criminal conviction history.
It appears that this is the first time the city code requires the reader to consult a resolution to determine the provisions of a general law. This is inconsistent with open government and is a step backwards.
