1976, the City Manager is designated as the, administrative head of the City, and is
specifically authorized to appoint and remove all employees (except as otherwise provided

including Sections 2.245 to 2.251 cQn~~rning the Tree Commission, authorize or require
certain specific duties or acts to be performed by the City Manager or the Manager's
designee. Many of those duties are administrative, and it would be more efficient to
delegate their performance to others.
C. The City's PARCS Department and Public Works 'Department are directly
involved in the City's program for preservation, enhancement, and maintenance of the

Andersen, Executive Director of Public Works.
