City proposes org-chart changes and several position eliminations to streamline operations
Summary
Staff recommended moving IT under an assistant city manager, creating a deputy finance director position and eliminating three positions (public relations specialist, assistant to the city manager, economic development coordinator) as part of a reorganization to improve efficiency.
Staff presented proposed changes to the city's table of organization intended to streamline operations and clarify supervision. The package would move the IT function from the city manager's direct reports under an assistant city manager, create a deputy finance director to supervise accounting and payroll roles, and eliminate three positions: a public relations specialist, an assistant to the city manager, and an economic development coordinator.
The presenting staff member explained that the changes consolidate responsibilities into existing roles; City Manager John Russell said the adjustments are part of a multi-year look at efficiencies since prior positions were added. "Really, what we're trying to do is just streamline some things," Russell said. Council raised no formal objections at the work session and the item will be placed on Monday's agenda for consideration.
Staff said more details and the formal ordinances will be provided at the council meeting.
