§ 3. Administrative Organization of Departments.

The director or chief administrative officer of each department, with the approval of the city manager, shall have the authority to organize such department into divisions or other appropriate units and may assign work to such units as may be necessary and convenient for the proper conduct of the work of the department. Divisions or administrative units established by ordinance, however, may not be abolished except by ordinance; powers and duties conferred by ordinance upon any department, division or administrative unit may not be assigned or transferred elsewhere except by ordinance.

The city manager may assign powers and duties to departments in addition to those assigned by ordinance.
