Clay, I’ve taken a quick look at the City Charter and Code of Ordinances to see if I can find some authority that delegates to the City Manager the authority to sign an application. The closest appears to be the authority in Section 3.03(b) and (c) of the City Charter that empowers the City Manager to: (b) Direct and supervise the administration of all departments, offices and agencies of the town, except as otherwise provided by law or this Charter. (c) See that all state laws and Town Ordinances are effectively enforced. If the application is required in order that State law be enforced, subsection (c) of Section 3.03 arguably gives the City Manager the authority to sign an application so that State law is enforced. The only other provision that I found is in Section 5.33 of the Charter, regarding purchasing. Subsection (a) of that Section states that the Council can by ordinance give the City Manager “general authority to contract for expenditure without further approval of the Council for all budgeted items not exceeding limits set by all the Council.” The City’s purchasing policies may currently do that. However, if the application does not involve purchasing, then Section 5.33 wouldn’t apply. Otherwise, the City Manager can be authorized to sign the application upon direct action taken by the City Council at a Council meeting.
