Section 1.03. Powers of the city.
The city shall have all powers possible for a city to have under the constitution and laws of this state, as fully and completely as though they were specifically enumerated in this Charter. All such powers, whether expressed or implied, shall be exercised and enforced in the manner prescribed by this Charter, and, when not prescribed herein, in such manner as may be provided by ordinance or resolution of the Council of the City of Longview.
The enumeration of particular powers in this Charter shall not be held or deemed to be exclusive, but in addition to the powers enumerated herein, implied thereby or appropriate to the exercise thereof, the city may have and shall exercise all other powers which, under the constitution of the State of Texas, it would be competent for the Charter specifically to enumerate. The City of Longview shall have and exercise all the powers conferred upon cities by what is known as the home rule amendment to the Constitution of the State of Texas and the enabling act and all other laws passed or which may hereafter be passed by the legislature in relation to such matters.
The City of Longview may exercise any of its powers or perform any of its functions, and may participate in the financing thereof, jointly or in cooperation, by contract or otherwise with the government of Texas or any agency thereof, or with the federal government or any agency thereof, or with the government of any county, city, or political subdivision to accomplish any lawful municipal purpose.
