Except as provided in this Charter, all powers of the City shall be vested in the officers provided for in this Charter. Where any power is not assigned to a specific officer, it shall be considered to be among the powers of the City Council (hereinafter called "Council") and may be assigned by Council to any officer of the City so long as such offices are not incompatible or a conflict of interest does not exist. All powers shall be exercised as provided by this Charter, or, if not so provided, as provided by ordinance, resolution or other action of Council. When not provided by this Charter or by ordinance, resolution or other action of Council, the City's powers shall be exercised as provided by the laws of Ohio until Council may provide otherwise.
