The council shall have broad powers to delegate authority and to create any powers to carry out this authority. Such position of city administrator, city manager, or its equivalent, once created shall not be abolished without the approval of the people. This, however, does not limit the council’s power to dismiss that person with or without cause, expand or restrict any powers of the position, and set salary.
The council shall be the chief purchasing agent of the city. All city purchases and contracts shall be made in accordance with state statute by the council or another official so designated by the council on behalf of the city, when the dollar amount is not large enough to require competitive bidding.
