He shall hire and, when necessary for the good of the service, shall suspend or discharge any employee under his supervision, provided that persons covered by the civil service provisions of the Borough Code shall be hired, suspended or discharged in accordance with such provisions, and provided further that the Manager shall report, at the next meeting thereafter of Council, any action taken by authority of this subsection.
He shall prepare and submit to Council, before the close of each fiscal year, a budget for the next fiscal year and an explanatory budget message. In preparing the budget, the Manager, or an officer designated by him, shall obtain from the head of each department, agency or board, or any qualified officer thereof, estimates of revenues and expenditures and such other supporting data as he requires. The Manager shall review such estimates and may revise them before submitting the budget to the Council.
He shall, in conjunction with the preparation of the yearly budget, develop long-range fiscal plans for the municipality, such plans to be presented annually to the Council for its review and adoption.
He shall hold such other municipal office and head such municipal departments as the Council may from time to time direct.
He shall attend all meetings of Council and its committees with the right to take part in the discussions and he shall receive notice of all special meetings of Council and its committees.

He shall submit to Council, as soon as possible after the close of the fiscal year, a complete report on the finances and the administrative activities of the Borough for the preceding year.
He shall supervise all purchases in accordance with the provisions of the Borough Code for all supplies and equipment for the agencies, boards, departments and other offices of the Borough. He shall issue rules and regulations, subject to approval of Council, governing the procurement of all municipal supplies and equipment.
All complaints regarding Borough services shall be referred to the office of the Manager. He, or an officer designated by him, shall investigate and dispose of such complaints, and the Manager shall report thereon to Council.
He shall accept from the Mayor, upon written notification and with approval of Council, any of the Mayor's nonlegislative and nonjudicial powers and duties.
He shall deal with Council, any of its members or any of Council's committees on matters concerning the administrative service, and all orders of Council shall be directed solely through the Borough Manager.
If the Manager becomes ill or needs to be absent from the Borough, he shall designate the Assistant to the Manager to perform the duties of the Manager during his absence or disability. In the case of the absence of both the Manager and the Assistant Manager, the President of Council shall assume the duties of the Manager.
