   b.   Limited access to city property. The city shall not knowingly permit governmental personnel who are empowered to enforce civil or criminal laws, other than personnel of the city, the department of education, or a local public benefit corporation or local public authority, to have access to non-public areas of city property unless:

   d.   Guidelines and rules. Any agency with jurisdiction over city property shall adopt guidelines or rules, as appropriate, to implement this section or, alternatively, the mayor or an office or agency designated by the mayor may adopt guidelines or rules applicable to multiple agencies, in furtherance of the efficient implementation of this section.
