Section 3-501 through 3-517 of the Flint City Charter details the mandate of the Ombudsman. It states: “The Ombudsman may investigate official acts of any agency which aggrieve any person.”
 In order to investigate these acts, departments are required to provide information as requested by the Ombudsman. It further empowers the Ombudsman to subpoena witnesses, administer oaths and take testimony, among other things. If an elective officer or appointee obstructs an investigation, the charter provides a remedy in the form of holding an obstruction hearing, which could result in the forfeiture of job.
