And here are Shreveport City Council member duties

I wouldn't want the City Council to feel like no one pays attention. So since I posted Shreveport's mayoral duties yesterday, here are the council's:

With respect to the organization of the city government, the council by ordinance shall have the exclusive power:

(a) To create and establish new functions of the city government and assign responsibility for administering same;

(b) To create and establish new departments to administer functions not established by this Charter; and

(c) Upon recommendation of the mayor, to reassign or terminate functions, offices and duties which have been specifically assigned by this Charter, or which have been previously assigned by council action, provided, however, that no such ordinance shall change the duties and responsibilities assigned by this Charter to the elective officers named in section 3.01 hereof or those duties and responsibilities assigned to the fire and police departments under Article 11 of this Charter.
