Members of the city of Monroe, Washington, boards, commissions, and city staff are prohibited from being awarded contracts with the city. Exceptions to this rule are those covered by the CBA, RCW and WAC. This section was submitted to the Monroe city council as an initiative with enough required signatures to be submitted to the voters. The city council adopted the initiative as an ordinance as an alternative to placing on the ballot. Consequently, to the extent required by law, this section shall be construed as superseding any conflicting city requirements or requirements that otherwise operate to illegally amend the requirements of an initiative. (Ord. 017/2019 § 5; Ord. 019/2013 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 003/2010 § 1 (Exh. A))
