If A.R.S. 9-271
B.3 says, The following officers appointed by the mayor and city council.
Must these officers be appointed by them or can they, under common council law delegate this authority to the city manager by ordinance?
As I read the statute, the operative work is shall, so it seems as though it must be the mayor and city council. I will consult with staff attorneys on Monday to confirm.
Our staff attorney who specializes in cities and counties has confirmed that my original interpretation was correct and the appointments must bemade by the mayor and city council.
