Resolution 9278 Page 2 The City Administrator/Manager/Clerk is hereby delegated the authority to grant, on behalf of the City, flexibility in City regulations as the City Administrator/Manager/Clerk determines is appropriate to support the operations of local businesses as they reopen to the customers and resume operations under the limitations imposed by the Governor's emergency orders.
