Sec. 6. Officers and clerks elected by council.

There may be elected by the council such officers and clerks
as said council deems proper and necessary, who shall serve
at the pleasure of council, and any one or more of said offices
may be held and exercised by the same person. It may be
competent for the council, in order to secure the services of a
suitable person, to elect nonresidents, but such officer shall
reside in the city during his tenure of office. (1972, c. 184.)

Effect of amendment.—The 1972 amendment changed the term of office
from two years to "the pleasure of the council."
