§ 3.20.410. Rulings and regulations.

A.

The finance director may promulgate and amend regulations and may prescribe the content of forms appropriate to the implementation of this chapter. Regulations promulgated by the finance director are effective on the date they are promulgated unless a different date is indicated in the regulations; provided, all regulations are subject to amendment and repeal at any time by the city council, by ordinance. At least seven calendar days prior to promulgation, a proposed regulation or amendment shall be submitted to the city attorney and the city manager for review and comment. Upon promulgating a regulation or any amendment to an existing regulation, the finance director shall submit the regulation or amendment to the city council at its next regular meeting.

B.

If any person who is or may be required to pay or collect the tax under this chapter questions the application of this chapter to a transaction or other situation in which that person is involved or may become involved, the person may apply to the finance director for a ruling on the question. The finance director may rule on the question and may seek the advice of the city attorney on the question. Before a ruling of the finance director is effective or binding on the city, it must be signed by the city manager. Rulings having general applicability shall be considered by the finance director for promulgation as a regulation.
