§ 2.34.070. Acceptance by City departments.

A.

When requiring members of the public to provide identification or proof of residency in the City, each City department shall accept a municipal identification card as valid identification and as valid proof of residency in the City, unless such City department has reasonable grounds for determining that the card is counterfeit, altered, or improperly issued to the card holder, or that the individual presenting the card is not the individual to whom it was issued.

B.

Other than requiring the City to accept the card as proof of identification and City residency, this section is not intended to replace any other existing requirements for issuance of other forms of identification in connection with the administration of City benefits and services. The requirements of this section do not apply under circumstances where:

1.

A federal or state statute, administrative regulation or directive, or court decision requires the City to obtain different identification or proof of residence;

2.

A federal or state statute or administrative regulation or directive preempts local regulation of identification or residency requirements; or

3.

The City would be unable to comply with a condition imposed by a funding source, which would cause the City to lose funds from that source.
