Editors Note: Section 1 of Ord. No. 2080, calling an election on various Charter amendments, contained propositions (B)(2) and (C)(1), both purporting to amend ch. V, § 2. Both propositions were ratified by the electors and approved by the governor, but they were inconsistent in that item (12) of said section as proposed by proposition (B)(2) referred to the members of the park board, whereas item (12) of said section as proposed by proposition (C)(1) referred to the director of parks and recreation. The editors have set out ch. V, § 2 above as amended by proposition (C)(1), referring to the director rather than the board, in view of the fact that other amendments proposed by Ord. No. 2080 amended ch. XXIV, § 1, to delete a requirement that a park board be established and amended this Charter to add ch. XXXI creating a department of parks and recreation under the supervision of a director.
Ord. No. 5036, § 1, called an election on Nov. 6, 1979, and was approved by the governor Nov. 10, 1980.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Charter, the appointive officers of the city and the directors or heads of city departments, including those whose office is provided for by ordinance under Section 2(14) of this Chapter, shall not be in the classified service, and none of the civil service provisions of the Charter, ordinances or regulations shall apply to such officers, directors or deputies unless otherwise expressly provided in this Charter.
(Prop. 404, eff. 2-2-2016)
The city manager, hereinafter in this Charter designated "manager," shall be appointed by the mayor and council and shall hold office until removed by four (4) members of the mayor and council voting affirmatively therefor.
(Prop. 403, eff. 2-2-2016)
The city attorney and city clerk, hereinafter in this Charter designated "attorney" and "clerk," respectively, shall be appointed by the mayor and council. They shall hold office for a term of two (2) years from the date of their appointment, unless sooner removed by four (4) members of the mayor and council voting affirmatively therefor.
(Ord. No. 4816, eff. 10-16-78; Ord. No. 5036, eff. 11-10-80; Prop. 403, eff. 2-2-2016)
Editors Note: The office of treasurer has been abolished by repeal of ch. X, § 3 and his duties transferred to the director of finance under ch. XXIX hereof. The office of auditor and ex officio assessor has been abolished by repeal of ch. X, § 2, and his functions are now performed by the director of finance and the post auditor under chs. XXIX and XXX hereof. Subsequently, Ord. No. 5036, approved at an election held Nov. 6, 1979, approved by the governor Nov. 10, 1980, deleted the office of post auditor.
Cross References: General duties of city clerk, ch. X, § 10; similar provisions for two-year term of magistrate. ch. XII, § 3.
City magistrates shall be appointed by the mayor and council and shall hold office for the terms hereinafter provided, unless sooner removed by four (4) members of the mayor and council voting affirmatively therefor. The initial five (5) appointments after the effective date of this section shall be for a two-year term, two (2) three-year terms, and two (2) four-year terms. Subsequent appointments shall be for four-year terms.

Editors Note: Section 4.1 above is derived from Ord. No. 2080, § 1(B)(3). Section (1)(B)(2) of said ordinance amended ch. V, § 2 to add the position of city post auditor. The provisions codified as § 4.1 above were not expressly amendatory to any given section of this Charter but have been codified in this manner by the editor despite the fact that they are partly repetitious of § 4 above.
Apparently § 4.1 was intended to supersede § 4. This would have added to § 4[post auditor] and ["post auditor"] and deleted from § 4 [city treasurer] ["auditor"] ["treasurer"] and ["the treasurer shall not hold office more than two (2) consecutive terms."] However, since § 4 was not amended or repealed when § 4.1 was added, both sections remain in the Charter.
