Body
Summary:
During 2016, as part of the citywide “code scrub” effort to review City Code for necessary updates, members of City Council and representatives of the executive branch convened working committee to review the provisions of Chapter 1 (Administration) and certain provisions of other chapters that are administrative in nature. As a result of that review, the group recommends a number of changes to certain administrative provisions of City Code.
This ordinance amends Section 1.2.312 of Chapter 1 relating to the Mayor’s authority to establish administrative departments, divisions, offices and agencies of the City, as distinct from appropriation departments listed in the annual appropriation ordinance, which authority is reserved to City Council pursuant to City Charter.
