WHEREAS, Republic Act No. 5185, otherwise known as the Decentralization Law, authorizes city governments to create the position of city public works supervisors, notwithstanding the fact that there is already a City Engineer;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

WHEREAS, by virtue of this authority, several city governments have created the position of city public works supervisors and assigning to this position all work provided by the city charters to be undertaken by the city engineer;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
