A City Administrative Officer,
A Purchasing Agent,

The Members of the Boards of the Departments and the Chief Administrative Officer of each Department,
An Executive Director of the Board of Police Commissioners.
Such other officers as shall be named by ordinance. (Sec. Amended, 1992.)
The legal status of persons as officers should be tested by their duties and functions rather than by their designation, and, if their duties and functions are those of public officers, that fact is sufficient to establish their legal status as such.
Willmon v. Powell, 91 Cal. App. 1.
The office of clerk of the police court is created by general statute, and, as the Charter of the City of Los Angeles makes no provision for the appointment of clerks of the police court, its provision that all appointed officers of the city shall hold office for the term of four years, provided, however, that the appointing power shall have the power to remove in all cases, does not apply to such office.
Rowe v. Rose, 26 Cal. App. 744.
Municipal officers may also serve on the board of another state agency if the duties of the other office are not incompatible with those of the municipal office.
People v. Carter, 12 Cal. App. (2d) 105.
