§ 1-304. Role of council in relation to administrative service appointment of committees
It is the intention of this act that the city council shall act in matters as a body. The council shall deal with the administrative service solely through the manager and shall not give orders to any subordinates of the manager, either publicly or privately. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the city council from appointing committees or commissions of its own members, or of citizens to conduct investigations into the conduct of any officer or department, or any matter relating to the welfare of the city, and delegating to such committee or commissions such powers of inquiry as the city council may deem necessary.
