(1) powers expressly granted by statute;

(3) powers indispensable to the declared purposes of the unit;

is abrogated.

     (b) A unit has:

(1) all powers granted it by statute; and

(2) all other powers necessary or desirable in the conduct of its affairs, even though not granted by statute.

     (c) The powers that units have under subsection (b)(1) are listed in various statutes. However, these statutes do not list the powers that units have under subsection (b)(2); therefore, the omission of a power from such a list does not imply that units lack that power.
