The council shall provide by ordinance or resolution, not inconsistent with this Charter, for the powers and duties of all officers and department heads of the city. Where the positions are not incompatible, the council may combine in one person the powers and duties of two or more offices created or provided for in the Charter. When the city has contracted with the County of Butte for the assessment and collection of taxes, the council may suspend or abolish any office relating to the assessment or collection of taxes. No office provided herein to be filled by appointment by the city manager may be combined with an office provided herein to be filled by appointment of the council.
