Atwater’s City Codes: 2:04.060 (City Manager) & 2:08.320 (City Council) each clearly state that City Council members are not to interfere with administrative services, either publicly or privately. They are not to give orders or instruction to any subordinate of the City Manager. A Council Member may give orders to the City Manager only with the knowledge and concurrence of the whole Council. The above-mentioned codes do not state consequences should a Council Member violate these ordinances.
