The city officers, except the mayor, council members and municipal judge, may, after being first duly authorized by ordinance of the city council, appoint a deputy or deputies who have the same powers as their principals and whose compensation may be prescribed by the city council. The city council may authorize the appointment of a deputy on condition that no charge be made against the city for the deputy’s services. [49:125:1907; RL § 815; NCL § 1150]—(NRS A 1983, 903)
