The City Council, exercising its discretion, has decided, by ordinance, to combine and merge the office of the City Manager and the office of Police Chief. The two offices are now combined with duties of the office of City Manager and the office of Police Chief to be held by the same officer or employee at the same time. The offices merged and combined shall always be construed to be separate, and the effect of the merger shall be limited to the consolidation of the official duties only. The salary or compensation of the officer or employee holding the merged and combined offices shall not be in excess of the maximum amount provided by law for the salary or compensation of the office, or offices so merged and combined.
