A. Debarment. After consultation with the city attorney, the city manager may give notice to a person of intent to debar. After a debarment hearing, or, if no hearing is timely requested, after the expiration of the time for filing a request for a hearing, the city manager may debar a person for cause from consideration for award of contracts. The debarment may not be for a period of more than three years.

B. Suspension. The city manager, after consultation with the city attorney, may suspend a person from consideration for award of contracts if there is probable cause for debarment and compelling reasons require suspension to protect the city. The suspension may not be for a period exceeding three months. (Ord. 20-012 § 3, 2020)
