3.110.180 - Corporate structure—Basic pattern.

A. Power and responsibility within the corporate structure shall be distributed among the corporate officers, the council and any constituency. B. The corporate officers shall manage the daily affairs and operations of the public corporation. If the charter so provides, corporate officers may be members of the council or as a commission comprise the council. C. The council shall oversee the activities of corporate officers, establish and/or implement policy, and participate in corporate activities as prescribed by the charter at least to the extent provided by Section 3.110.200. D. The charter shall establish a constituency with at least the powers set forth in Section 3.110.210 A through D unless the Mayor expressly determines that a constituency with such powers would not be in the public interest and approves a charter without a constituency, or a charter amendment to abolish or modify it. A charter that does not provide for a constituency or that prescribes a constituency with advisory capacity only shall repose stewardship for management and determination of all corporate affairs in the council. E. If a constituency be provided, the council or a committee thereof shall report to the constituency at a meeting held at least quarterly and receive such advice, council or directions as the charter shall designate.
