Administrative Recommendation:
City Council introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 5761.
Background Summary:
Current provisions of Chapter 2.03 of the Auburn City Code provide for an identification of duties and
responsibilities of the elected Mayor of the City of Auburn. Many of those duties are expressly stated in
terms of administrative and supervisory duties, as well as statutory functions and interactions with the City
Council and the various boards, commissions, and committees of the City. It has been a long-standing
practice that the Mayor or designee has prepared the meeting agendas for the City Council and the
various boards, commissions, and committees of the City, including identifying items to be included on
the meeting agendas and for consideration of the council, board, commission, or committee, as well as
scheduling public hearings where appropriate, except in those instances where, by statute, the City
Council sets the public hearing pursuant to a resolution. To avoid confusion and to ensure better
coordination in the scheduling of hearings, as well as the preparation of meeting agendas, it is
appropriate that those tasks be included in the provisions identifying the duties and responsibilities of the
Mayor, in Chapter 2.03 of the Auburn City Code. The proposed ordinance seeks to accomplish that.
