(Ord. 1282 § 1, 1985; Ord. NS-45 § 1, 1988; Ord. CS-454 § 2, 2023)
The Senior Commission is authorized to receive donations, gifts,
legacies, endowments or bequests made to the city or to the Commission
for or on behalf of the city, subject to the approval of the City
Council. All donations, gifts, legacies, endowments or bequests so
received by the Commission shall be turned over to the City Treasurer
and shall be kept in a special fund to be designated as the "Senior

(Ord. 1282 § 1, 1985; Ord. NS-45 § 1, 1988; Ord. CS-454 § 2, 2023)
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as restricting any
of the powers of the City Council, or as a delegation to the Senior
Commission of any of the authority or discretionary powers vested
and imposed by law in the City Council. The City Council declares
that the public interest, convenience and welfare require the appointment
of a Senior Commission to act in a purely advisory capacity to the
City Council for the purposes enumerated. Any power herein delegated
to the Commission to adopt rules and regulations shall not be construed
as a delegation of legislative authority but purely a delegation of
administrative authority.
