§ 12.052. General responsibilities of department heads.

Sec. 4-2. The head of each administrative department shall be responsible to the manager for the effective administration of his respective department and all activities assigned thereto. The manager may set aside any action taken by a department head and may supersede him in the functions of his office. In the event of a vacancy in office or during the absence of any department head, the manager may designate an interim acting head or perform personally the functions of that office. All department heads shall keep informed as to the latest practices in their particular field and shall inaugurate, with the approval of the manager, such new practices as appear to be of benefit to the city service and the public.
