A. The City Manager shall direct and supervise all administrative officers and employees of the City in the performance of their duties and is authorized and empowered to delegate to a specified administrative officer the right and power to stamp the name and position of the City Manager on the proper class of documents or papers, which shall have the same force and effect as though the City Manager had, in person and by his own act, signed the document or paper. In order to grant an administrative officer the authority set out in this section, the City Manager shall file with the City Clerk the name and title of the administrative officer so empowered and the class of documents or papers to which the authority is to apply.

He may set aside any action taken by any administrative officer and supersede him in the function of his office.
