The Mayor shall have the power to appoint, subject to confirmation by Council, a Director of Public Safety and a Director of Public Service, who shall exercise all powers and perform all duties that are delegated to and conferred upon such officers by the laws of Ohio not inconsistent with the provisions of this Charter and such other duties as may be assigned to either of them by the Mayor, or by ordinance. If the Mayor desires to do so, the Mayor may combine these two offices into one, and appoint, subject to confirmation by Council, a Safety-Service Director who shall have the above powers and duties. Any officer or officers appointed under this Section shall serve at the pleasure of the Mayor, and the compensation shall be fixed by Council.
In the event the Mayor does not make any such appointments, or in the event of a vacancy, the Mayor shall have and exercise the above powers and duties.
