Executive Summary:
In accordance with City Charter Article IV, Section 1(a), the Council, by ordinance not inconsistent with the City Charter, shall provide for the organization, conduct, and operation of the several offices and departments of the City as established by the Charter, for the creation of additional departments, divisions, offices, and agencies, and for their consolidation, alteration, or abolition.
The City Manager has evaluated the organizational structure and has determined there is great benefit to having both Sustainability and the City Clerk’s office as separate divisions and part of the City’s Leadership Team. Both Section Directors currently report to the City Manager. Pursuant to the future proposed organizational chart the City Clerk Division would report to the Deputy City Manager (currently vacant) and the Sustainability Director will continue to report to the City Manager.
In addition to the creation of these divisions, City Staff also included two minor adjustments to the ordinance; the first is to update the name of the Engineering and Capital Improvements Division to City Engineering and the second is the realignment of the Risk Management Section under Human Resources with the retitle to Human Resources/Risk Management Division.
