There's historic precedence for the Assembly "asserting" a power by... well, doing it, and the legal authority for such an action being implicit in the assembly then passing the motion/action/whatever by sufficient a margin that it would, in the form of a charter amendment, grant the assembly said power.

I'm not sure how well that would stand up in court these days though.

So, just so everyone knows we're not being lazy, or just ignoring y'all, the cabinet wish to discuss the issue with the incoming cabinet before taking any action, as the process will stretch into their term. It's likely that they'll agree, but this seems the right way to handle it, nevertheless.
