Article III
POWERS OF CITY
   The City shall have all powers granted to municipal corporations and to cities by the Constitution and general laws of this State, together with all implied powers necessary to carry into execution all the powers granted. The City may acquire property within or without its corporate limits for any City purpose, in fee simple or any lesser interest or estate, by purchase, gift, devise, lease or condemnation, and may sell, exchange or lease, at public or private sale as determined by the Council, mortgage, hold, manage and control such property as its interests may require, and, except as prohibited by the Constitution of this State or restricted by the Charter, the City shall and may exercise all municipal powers, functions, rights, privileges and immunities of every name and nature whatsoever. The enumeration of particular powers by this Charter shall not be deemed to be exclusive, and, in addition to the powers enumerated therein or implied thereby, or appropriate to the exercise of such powers, it is intended that the City shall have and may exercise all powers which, under the Constitution or laws of this State, it would be competent for this Charter specifically to enumerate.
   All powers of the City shall be exercised in such manner as may be provided herein, or, in the absence of such provision, in such manner consistent with this Charter as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution of the Council, or, in the absence of such provision in this Charter or in an ordinance or resolution of this Council, in such manner as may be provided by the general laws of the State of Ohio then applicable.
