(“Usually a power conferred without limitation upon the municipal corporation may be exercised by the common council or legislative body as the general agent of the corporation, and by no other authority. A fortiori, power conferred upon the council or legislative body in express terms cannot be delegated otherwise than in accordance with the expression of terms.” (footnotes omitted)); 62 C.J.S. Municipal Corporations § 206 (Supp.2013) (“The governing body of a municipal corporation, entrusted by the state with the police power, is prevented from delegating its high functions to any body or officer; instead, it may be discharged or exercised only by those to whom the state commits it.” (footnotes omitted)); see also Newman v. McCullough, 212 S.C. 17, 25-26, 46 S.E.2d 252, 256 (1948) (<HOLDING>). Thus, strictly construing section 23-1-210,
holding that the power of any administrative agency to reconsider its final decision exists only where the statutory provisions creating the agency indicate a legislative intent to permit the agency to carry into effect such power recognizing that a municipal council acting as a governmental agency  is bound always to act as trustee of the power delegated to it and may not surrender or restrict any portion of such power conferred upon it recognizing a distinction between the power of a federal court to hear statelaw claims and the discretionary exercise of that power holding that merss power to act as the agent of any valid note holder includes the power to assign holding that a commission is a body with special and limited power and it can only exercise the power expressly or impliedly granted to it and any reasonable doubt of existence of any power must be resolved against the exercise thereof
