The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
14
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general

15
Code
section

currently
requires
a
city
having
a

17
conducted

and
having
a
paid
fire
department
or
a
paid
18
police
department,
to
appoint
a
civil
service
commission.
19
Code
chapter
400
also
establishes
other
powers
and
duties
of
20
cities
based
on
population
as
determined
by
the
federal

21
conducted

22
This
bill
requires
the
most
recent
decennial
federal
census
23
to
be
used
in
determining
the
population
of
a
city.
The
bill,
24
however,
provides
that
if
a
city
had
a

or
25
more
according

The
bill
may
include
a
state
mandate

in
Code

The

makes
inapplicable

32
subsection
3,
which
would
relieve
a
political
subdivision
from
33
complying
with
a
state
mandate
if
funding
for
the
cost
of
34
the
state
mandate
