B. In furtherance of the coordination duties set forth in this section, the mayor is authorized to change the reporting requirements of and among the various appointed officers, including moving said officers to different departments or divisions; provided, that the mayor shall not change the reporting requirements of appointed officers in the office of the city attorney, city clerk, or of commissioned officers of the police department.

C. If the change in reporting requirements changes the powers or duties of a city department as set forth in this code and as specified in state statute, the mayor shall bring an amendment to the applicable code sections before the city council for review and approval as soon as practicable.
