Staff to bring Title 4 code chapters to committee for phased review
Summary
Manager Dietz told the finance committee staff has reviewed Title 4 and will bring individual chapters back for focused committee review and proposed code amendments to update thresholds and remove inconsistencies.
Manager Dietz briefed the committee on an internal review of Title 4 and recommended a phased, chapter‑by‑chapter approach to proposed code amendments. Staff identified outdated provisions and inconsistencies (for example, differing contract and approval thresholds across chapters and low manager spending authority levels set decades ago) and suggested bringing one chapter at a time to committee for focused review and potential referral to the assembly.
Committee members agreed that staff should prioritize chapters that cause the most friction in budgeting or contracting and that staff could present draft ordinance language and the full chapter for context. Manager Dietz noted the manager cannot itself propose code amendments to the assembly; an assembly member or committee should sponsor code changes after staff presents draft language.
The committee asked staff to return with a proposed chapter schedule for phased review; no formal motion was taken.
