  Summary:

The proposed ordinance provides City Code changes and additions that implement voter-approved City Charter changes related to a Council-appointed office of the City Council Administrator.

 

  Previous Council Action: 

Council referred a ballot question to amend the City Charter to establish the office of a City Council Administrator as a Council appointee.

 

  Background:

At the April 7, 2015, General Municipal Election, the voters approved amendments to Sections 3-10(e), 4-40(c), and 5-20 of the Charter of the City of Colorado Springs, pertaining to the establishment of the Council-appointed office of the City Council Administrator.  The proposed ordinance provides amendments to the City Code to reflect that that City Council Administrator is a Council-appointed officer, like the City Auditor.  In addition, the proposed ordinance creates a new Part 10 of Article 2, Chapter 1, to prescribe powers and duties of the City Council Administrator.  The new Part 10 refers to specific council-related functions and general administrative functions that are necessary for Council operations.
