The Oregon Constitution reserves initiative and referendum powers as to all municipal legislation to City voters. This Charter vests all other city powers in the Council, except as the Charter otherwise provides. The Council has legislative, administrative, and quasi-judicial authority. The Council exercises legislative authority by ordinance, administrative authority by resolution, and quasi-judicial authority by order. The Council may not delegate its authority to adopt ordinances.
