credentials, or such other form of identification as allowed or provided
under this Code or state law.
B. The City Manager is authorized to issue to each member of the City
Council a city badge designating the member as a member of the City
Council, Mayor pro tem, or Mayor. No member of the City Council shall
have more than one badge at any time during such member's term of
office.
C. The size, shape, and content of each badge shall not be designed in such
a manner that an ordinary reasonable person would be deceived into
believing that such badge is authorized for use by a peace officer or that
the badge could indicate membership in an organization whose name
would reasonably be understood to imply that the organization is
composed of law enforcement personnel. The terms "peace officer,
"police officer," "police," "law enforcement," or any similar term shall not be
used on any badge issued pursuant to the provisions of this Part. The
City Manager shall consult with the Police Chief and the City Attorney on
the design of any badge proposed to be issued to a member of the City
Council.
D. Each badge issued shall have a unique serial or identification number and
the City Manager shall maintain records containing the serial or
identification number of each badge, the date of issuance, and the name
and resident address of the member of the Council to whom the badge is
issued.
E. Each member of the City Council to whom a badge is issued shall
reimburse the City for the cost of the badge in the event the badge is
destroyed through the member's negligence or the badge is lost.
