I had an aircraft enroute at 9000 feet. I took radar contact on an aircraft departing southbound. The temporary altitude showed the aircraft climbing to 8000 feet. I noticed the aircraft was going through the temporary altitude at 8300 feet. I called TRACON to turn the aircraft 20 degrees right and I turned my aircraft 20 degrees right. I looked up in our Letter of Agreement (LOA) with TRACON and it said departing aircraft going southbound should be climbing to 8000 feet. I asked the controller in TRACON about it and they showed that they can climb their departures to 9000 feet. My supervisor looked it up and found some paperwork; not in the Enroute Information Display System (ERIDS); but just on a laminated sheet that showed some changes. It said they can climb departures to 9000 feet.We have aircraft going that route of flight all the time at 9000 feet. Suggest more training so everyone is familiar with the procedure or change the departures to 8000 feet.
The Controller took a handoff on a departure thinking it was climbing to 8000 feet. The departure was climbing to 9000 feet. There is conflicting information between the Controller's procedures manuals.
