177.04 DELEGATION OF DUTIES TO DEPUTIES.

   Whenever by these Codified Ordinances it is made the duty of any officer of the City to do any certain thing, the doing of such thing under his direction or supervision or with his authority by a deputy or subordinate shall be deemed to be the doing of such thing by him, except in such matters as by law or by the nature of the duty must be done by such officer in person. However, this section shall not be construed to bind the City in any transaction involving the payment or receipt of moneys, or of physical properties, unless the transaction in relation thereto by any subordinate was within the express authorization given to such subordinate.
