This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the Administrative
Code of the City of Union City in the County of Hudson, and is sometimes
referred to in this chapter as the "code."
Pursuant to law, the executive, judicial, administrative and
legislative functions, powers and duties of the Board of Commissioners
shall be allocated among the following basic departments:
The Board of Commissioners shall designate, by majority vote,
one Commissioner to be Director of each department. The Board of Commissioners
shall also examine the various departments and divisions, or subdepartments
within departments, and, by resolution, make such reallocation of
functions as it deems desirable. When such reallocation has been duly
made by resolution, the function so allocated shall be deemed to fall
within the departments to which they have been allocated, notwithstanding
any other provisions of this code.
The Board of Commissioners shall determine the powers and duties
to be performed by each department and shall assign each department
the powers and duties which it deems appropriate. The board shall
prescribe the powers and duties of all officers and employees, may
assign particular officers and employees to one or more departments,
and may require any officer or employee to perform duties in two or
more departments if the work required in each department is similar
in character. The Board of Commissioners may make such rules and regulations
as are necessary and proper for the efficient and economical conduct
of the business of the City.
The City may prescribe the form and manner of execution and
approval of all contracts to be executed by the City, and the Board
of Commissioners has authorized the Mayor to execute all contracts
on behalf of the City.
