§ 11. Other Officers.

Additional officers of the city shall be a municipal judge, a recorder, a treasurer and such other officers as the council deems necessary. Each of these officers shall be appointed and may be removed by the mayor with the consent of the council, provided, however, that the persons elected to the office of recorder and the officer of treasurer at the general election for said city in 1953, shall hold office until their terms would otherwise expire. The council may combine any two or more appointive city offices, including the offices of said treasurer and recorder, provided, however, that such power shall not be exercised by the council on or before the first day of January 1955. The council may designate any appointive officer to supervise any other appointive officer except the municipal judge in the exercise of his judicial functions. All employees and appointive officers having access to any of the funds of the city, including the recorder and treasurer, shall, before entering into the performance of the duties of his office, file with the council a good and sufficient fidelity bond in such amount as may be fixed by the council.
