All multiple-member bodies shall prepare annual reports of their
activities and submit same to the Mayor for inclusion in the annual
report of the City, on or before the fourth Friday in July. The annual
report shall describe fiscal-year activities for the year ending each
June 30.
The references to state statutes which are contained in the sections which follow describing the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the offices and agencies therein enumerated are provided for the purpose of describing the scope of authority which may be exercised by the City in respect to each particular matter. No such enumeration shall in any way be construed to limit the ability of the City to reorganize itself and to redistribute powers, duties and responsibilities to and among various officers and under various titles authorized by MGL c. 43B, § 20, and Article
5 of the Charter.
Whenever the Mayor determines that the needs of the City so
require, the Mayor may assign, on a temporary basis, to any City agency
duties in addition to those duties detailed for the agency in this
chapter, provided such additional duties are reasonably related to
the regular duties of such City agency.
