Auburn — Ch. 13 Art. VI Minimum Housing Standards § 13-104
Rules and regulations
Operative Text
The city council may make and adopt such written rules and regulations as may be necessary for the proper enforcement of the provisions of this article: Provided that such rules and regulations shall not be in conflict with the provisions of this article. The city council shall file a certified copy of all rules and regulations which it may adopt with the city clerk. Such rules and regulations shall have the same force and effect as the provisions of this article, and the penalty for violation thereof shall be the same as the penalty for violation of the provisions of this article.
Section 13-104 of Auburn's Minimum Housing Standards article authorizes the city council to create written rules and regulations to help carry out the article's requirements, as long as those rules do not conflict with the article itself. Any rules adopted must be filed as certified copies with the city clerk, making them part of the public record. Once adopted, these supplemental rules carry the same legal weight as the article's core provisions, and violations of them are subject to the same penalties as violations of the article itself.
