Tasks of the City Administration

• Independently of its other tasks, the City Administration is responsible for administrative processes, documentation and file management in all matters of the municipality ("Geschäftsbesorgungsmonopol").
• The City Administration performs all public authority tasks that are not specifically assigned to other bodies ("subsidiary power of general competence in local authority matters").
• The City Administration has a number of further tasks; for instance, pursuant to sec 105 para 3 of the Vienna City Statutes, it is in charge of the municipality's direct finance and property management, concluding and terminating employment contracts for the municipality, as well as drawing up (i.e. preparing) its (pre-)budget and final balance.
• Under the direction and responsibility of the Mayor, the City Administration is in charge of local policing tasks within the municipality’s sphere of competence.
