The assignment of duties, when of a supervisory nature, shall also grant authority for the persons so assigned to carry out such duties prior to, during and after the occurrence of a disaster until revoked by the City Manager. Such services from persons outside of government may be accepted by the city on a volunteer basis or through charges agreeable to the city and contractor. Volunteers obtained to fill said needs shall be enrolled as emergency management volunteers in cooperation with the heads of city departments affected.
