All members of the Council shall respect the separation between the Council's role and the City Manager's responsibility by:
(A) Not interfering with the day-to-day administration of city business, which is the responsibility of the City Manager.
(B) Refraining from actions that would undermine the authority of the City Manager or a department head.
(C) Limiting individual inquiries and requests for information from staff to those questions that may be answered readily as part of staffs day-to-day responsibilities. Questions of a more complex nature shall be directed to the City Manager.
(1) Questions from individual members of the Council requiring significant time or resources (two hours or more) shall normally require approval of the Council.
(2) Members of the Council shall normally share any information obtained from staff with the entire Council. This section is not intended to apply to questions by members of the Council acting in their individual capacities rather than as members of the Council, nor to questions regarding conflict of interest or similar issues particular to a member of the Council.
