(A) The Mayor shall sign all city warrants, commissions, permits and licenses granted by authority of the Council, except as otherwise provided, and such other acts and deeds as law or ordinance may require his official signature.
(B) The Mayor may designate another to affix his signature to any written instrument that requires the Mayor's signature. The Mayor must send written notice of this designation to the City Council, stating: (1) the name of the person he has selected; and (2) what instrument the person will have authority to sign.
(C) A written signature of the Mayor executed by the person so designated with the signature underneath of the person so designated shall be attached to the notice. The notice with the signature attached shall be recorded in the journal of the City Council and then filed with the City Clerk. When the signature of the Mayor is placed on a written instrument at the direction of the Mayor in the specified manner, the instrument, in all respects, shall be as binding on the city as if signed by the Mayor in person.
