All references to the bureau of fire prevention and duties therein prescribed shall mean and be performed by the city council or any transferee or assignee of such duties; however, nothing contained in this article shall be interpreted to restrict the city from delegating the functions prescribed to the bureau of fire prevention by contract or interlocal agreement to third parties, including other firefighting and prevention agencies or entities.
(2) 
All references to the chief and duties therein prescribed shall mean the city building official, or such other entity or person as the city council may from time to time designate.
