§ 3.56.410 — Period of debarment

3.56.410 Period of debarment.

A. The period of debarment must be commensurate with the seriousness of the grounds, as determined by the city manager, or by a hearing examiner on appeal. An initial period of debarment may not exceed three years. B. Before the debarment period imposed under this article expires, the city manager may review the record of the evidence presented during the debarment proceedings, as well as any additional facts or information relevant to a review of the debarment. The city manager may extend the existing debarment, for successive additional periods of up to two years each, if the city manager determines that the extension is necessary to protect the public interest. If the city manager determines that debarment for an additional period is necessary, the city manager shall follow the procedures established by section 3.56.400 before imposing the extension. C. Unless the city manager has extended the debarment pursuant to subsection B, the debarment automatically terminates upon expiration of the debarment period. (Ord. 2024-0010 § 4)
