5.04.310   Discretionary duties.
   Whenever the words "shall," "will," "must," or words of similar print are used in Title 5 of the city ordinance to establish a responsibility or duty of the city and/or any board, officer or employee thereof, it is the legislative intent that such words shall establish a discretionary authority requiring the exercise of judgment and discretion, as distinguished from a mandatory duty. No mandatory duty is imposed upon any member of the city council, or any officer or employee of the city by the provisions of Title 5, and Title 5 shall not be construed so as to hold the city, the city council, or any other officer or employee of the city responsible or liable for any damage to individuals or property by reason of any action taken or not taken, or by reason of any approval given or not given thereunder. (Ord. 9517 § 1 (part), 1995: prior code Ch. 15, Art. 18)
