Pursuant to the provisions of the Charter, the Administrative Assistant shall serve as the full time administrative head of all City operations. For this purpose the titles of Administrative Assistant, City Administrator and Administrator are deemed synonymous. The Administrative Assistant shall be charged with all administrative authority and responsibility as set forth in the Charter and shall assume, subject to delegation by the Mayor or Council and unless otherwise designated or revoked, all such optional delegations of authority from the Mayor and Council as elicited in the Charter, including, but not limited to, the designation as Director of Personnel with the right and duty of appointment, suspension and discharge of all City employees consistent with the Charter provisions, civil service law, subsequent ordinances and resolutions supplementing, amending or abridging this authority; the designation as City Purchasing Agent with all rights and responsibilities of such office not inconsistent with Charter provisions; and the designation of the Administrative Advisory Officer, without vote, to all City boards and commissions, whether they be of permanent or temporary status. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted or construed to preclude the designation of the Administrative Assistant to further positions or offices, including the right to serve as head of other departments, without compensation, within the framework of the Charter.
(Ord. C42-76. Passed 5-3-76.)
(a) Pursuant to Charter 3.06, an Administrative Assistant shall be appointed by the Mayor without a fixed term of office. He may be removed from office by written or public notice of the Mayor without right of appeal to any other body or person. However, insofar as possible, he shall be given a written statement by the Mayor of the reasons alleged for his removal and shall continue in office for at least sixty days with the privilege of filing written rebuttal to such statement of reasons for dismissal prior to the vacation of his office.
(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to abridge the power and authority of the Mayor in discharging the Administrative Assistant, and he may dismiss the Administrative Assistant summarily if he so desires.
(Ord. C30-60.)
Subject to and limited by any delegation of power by the Mayor or Council and unless specifically provided for in the Charter, State laws or ordinances or resolutions of Council, neither the Mayor nor any Council member shall designate the appointment of any person to office or employment by the Administrative Assistant. Except for purpose of inquiry, the Mayor and Council shall deal with the administrative service solely through the Administrative Assistant and neither the Mayor or any Council member shall give orders to any subordinates of the Administrative Assistant.
(Ord. C30-60.)
