Sec. 1.6-01. - Adoption and Termination of Programs.¶
(a) Programs shall be adopted by the Council with a written statement of the purpose of the program, specific goals to be completed within at least five (5) years, and a budget for the duration of the program. As used in this Article, "program" is an activity involving an expenditure approved by the Council. A term in excess of five years may be approved by the Council on a finding by at least four affirmative votes that the longer term is necessary to properly evaluate the success of the program.
(b) Programs shall terminate five (5) years from adoption unless a longer or shorter term is stated when the program is adopted. The Council may extend the term of a program by at least four affirmative votes if the program has satisfied its purpose and some goals and the remaining goals have not been accomplished for reasons beyond the control of the City. The Council may extend the term of a successful program by adopting an additional statement of purpose and goals and budget.
(c) The City shall implement county, regional, state and federally mandated programs when the appropriate county, regional, state or federal agency provides a statement of the purpose of the program and specific goals to be achieved. Programs mandated by county, regional, state or federal government shall be extended, notwithstanding failure to satisfy purposes of the program or the goals, but the Council shall transmit its findings to the presiding officer of each legislative body responsible for the mandate and to each state and federal legislator representing territory within the City.
