83.520 Board of aldermen -- Powers -- Tax levy -- Other statutory provisions permissive. The legislative body of a city of the first class shall have the power to exercise all of the
rights, privileges, powers, franchises, including the power to levy all taxes, not in conflict
with the Constitution and so as to provide for the health, education, safety and welfare of
the inhabitants of the city, to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if the
General Assembly had granted and delegated to the legislative body of the city all of the
authority and powers that are within its powers to grant to a municipal corporation as if
expressly enumerated herein. Nothing therein contained to the contrary, the provisions of
KRS Chapters 65, 66, 76, 77, 79, 80, 91, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 103, 104, 106, 107, 108 and
109 shall be considered permissive rather than mandatory and the powers, rights and
duties therein delineated may be modified or delegated by the legislative body to different
departments and agencies of city government and any restrictions therein set forth shall
not be considered abridging in any manner the complete grant of home rule set forth in
this grant of power except no right heretofore vested by operation of statute shall in any
way be affected. Effective: July 13, 1984
History: Amended 1984 Ky. Acts ch. 111, sec. 52, effective July 13, 1984. -- Created 1972 Ky. Acts ch. 243, sec. 12.
