Editor’s note–Former section 2.03 pertaining to powers of the city council was deleted and relocated in its entirety by Ordinance 1133 at an election held on May 4, 2019, prop. A. These provisions can now be found in section 3.12 of the charter.
The City of Lake Worth, made a body politic and corporate by the adoption of this Charter, shall have and may exercise all the powers, functions, rights, privileges and immunities of every name and nature whatsoever now or hereafter granted to municipal corporations and to cities by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, together with all the implied powers necessary to carry into execution all the powers, functions, rights, privileges and immunities granted.
The enumeration of particular powers by this Charter shall not be deemed to be exclusive, and in addition to the powers enumerated herein or implied hereby, or appropriate to the exercise of such powers, it is intended that the City of Lake Worth shall have, and may exercise, all powers of local self-government, and all other powers which under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, it would be competent for this Charter specifically to enumerate.
