POWERS

Sections:

Section 4.    POWERS OF THE CITY.

Section 5.    CONSTRUCTION OF CHARTER.

Section 4. POWERS OF THE CITY.

The city shall have all powers which the constitutions, statutes, and common law of the United States and of this state expressly or by implication grant or allow municipalities as fully as though this charter specifically enumerated each of those powers.

Section 5. CONSTRUCTION OF CHARTER.

In this charter, no specification of a power is exclusive or restricts authority that the city would have if the power were not specified. The charter shall be liberally construed so that the city may exercise fully all its powers possible under this charter and under United States and Oregon law. All powers are continuing unless a specific grant of power clearly indicates the contrary.
