  • The city council and its members shall deal with the administrative services of the city only through the city manager. The city manager shall take his orders and instructions from the city council as a body, and no individual councilmember shall give any orders or instructions to the city manager or his subordinates. When a decision has been made by the city council as a body, it shall be final and conclusive.

    A.

    The city manager shall attend all meetings of the city council unless excused therefrom by the mayor or the city council.

    B.

    The city manager may take part in council discussions, but may not vote. He shall have the power to appear and address the council or any of its boards or commissions at any meeting.

    C.

    The city manager shall recommend to the city council for adoption such measures and ordinances as he deems necessary. He shall keep the city council at all times fully advised as to the financial conditions and needs of the city, and shall make such reports as may be desirable or as requested by the city council. He may, however, delegate such duties at his discretion.
