On the recommendation of the County Executive, the County Council, by an ordinance known as a reorganization ordinance, may create new offices, departments, bureaus, divisions or other units of the executive branch; may reorganize, reassign or abolish existing offices, departments, bureaus, divisions or other units of the executive branch of the County government; and may provide for any unit of the executive branch to report directly to the County Executive. Except as provided otherwise by a reorganization ordinance, the executive branch shall consist of the offices and departments hereinafter enumerated and described. Existing or additional duties and functions may, however, from time to time be assigned to or reassigned among existing offices or departments by directive of the County Executive or by ordinance of the County Council. The Council shall create no body corporate nor give financial support to any entity for the purpose of evading the provisions of this section.
