§ 5. Absence of the city manager.
To perform the duties of city manager during
the city manager's temporary absence or
disability, the city manager, by letter filed with
the city secretary, may designate a qualified
administrative officer of the City. In the event
of failure of the city manager to make such
designation, the Council may, by resolution,
appoint an officer of the City to perform the
duties of the city manager until the city
manager shall return or his disability shall
cease. In case of disability or illness
exceeding thirty (30) days, where the city
manager's duties could not be performed
properly, the city manager's salary should be
continued at the discretion of the Council.
§ 6. Administrative departments.
There shall be such administrative
departments as are established by this
Charter and such other administrative
departments as may be deemed necessary by
the Council and as are established by
ordinance, all of which shall be under the
control and direction of the city manager. The
Council may abolish or combine one or more
departments created by it and may assign or
transfer duties of any departments of the City
from one department to another by ordinance.

Final Version
In the wording of the Charter, the use of
the singular number shall include the
plural, the plural shall include the singular,
and words used in the masculine gender
shall include the feminine also, unless by
reasonable construction, it appears that
such was not the intention of this Charter.
§ 10. Construction of power.
This Charter shall not be construed as a
mere grant of enumerated powers, but
shall be construed as a general grant of
power and as a limitation of power on the
government of the City in the same
manner as the Constitution of Texas is
construed as a limitation on the powers of
the legislature. Except where expressly
prohibited by this Charter, each and every
power under Article XI, Section 5, of the
Constitution of Texas, which it would be
competent for the people of the City to
