Benicia Municipal Code Ch. 2.52 Design Immunity

The public works director/city engineer (or his/her designee provided that such designee holds a valid registration as a professional engineer in the state of California) is delegated the authority to exercise discretionary approval of plans, designs and any design amendments or addenda for public improvement or subdivision improvement projects. The plans and designs shall be signed by the public works director/city engineer or his/her designee. Such delegation of design approval authority does not change the city council's discretion and authority to approve projects and appropriate project funding pursuant to other applicable city policies, procedures, and codes, or circumvent other established project design review and approval processes (e.g., design review and approval for conformance with discretionary permit requirements).
