§ 18. City officers.
The officers of the city shall be composed of a city manager, city clerk, tax assessor, tax collector, chief of police, and such other officers as may be created by ordinance. The city commission may elect to provide any of these necessary services through interlocal agreements with other local governments or through contract with private entities, if in the best interest of the city. The offices of city clerk, tax assessor and tax collector shall be held by one person until such time as the growth of the city shall necessitate otherwise, in which event the city commission shall provide by ordinance for the appointment of necessary personnel to administer the respective offices.
The mayor may appoint a member of the city commission or a committee of the city commission to review and coordinate with the city manager any particular phase of the government of the city, subject to final control of the commission.
