DATE: April 12, 2023

SUBJECT:
An ordinance amending two sections of Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances.

BACKGROUND:
In 2009, the city underwent a substantial re-organization and re-aligned several city departments, but did not update the code. In 2017, the city again undertook a substantial re-organization and updated provisions in Chapter 2 to codify the changes. Staff committed to keeping the code updated following the 2017 changes, this proposal seeks to update the Community Services Department and Finance Department to reflect organizational changes.

DISCUSSION:
The changes proposed for the Community Services Department are reflective of departmental needs following the most recent re-organization of this department in 2021. There are four (4) divisions within Community Services, seven (7) subdivisions, the Customer Service Center and the Financial Empowerment Center (FEC). Between the divisions and subdivisions in this department, there are significant community outreach components. After nearly two years in operation under the new structure, it was determined the department would benefit from a "second in command", a "Director of Community Services", similar to what we did for Development Services, Public Works and Public Properties.

The changes proposed for the Finance Department are to align the city code with the current pay plan. There are no significant changes, just a realignment to streamline the reporting structure of the divisions and subdivisions. No personnel changes or departmental additions, just a realignment.

IMPACT STATEMENT:
Approval of these changes will align the city code with the budget and pay plan.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff respectfully requests approval of this ordinance update.
