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.
