BACKGROUND Last year, the City changed the structural organization of the planning, building, and public works departments. We now have a Community Development Department and an Operations Services department. The classifications of Public Works Director and Planning Director no longer exist. Instead, we now have a Director of Community Development and a Director of Operations Services. And we no longer refer to the planning department and building department; they are now referred to as the planning division and building division. Finally, the director of building inspection is now referred to as the chief building official and the director of engineering is now called the city engineer. This code amendment will clean up all of the language in the municipal code that refers to classifications or departments that no longer exist or that have been renamed or added. DISCUSSION Outdated references to the planning department, public works department, planning director, public works director etc. can be found in nearly one hundred different sections of the municipal code. The City Attorney's Office and the Directors of Community Development and Operations Services met and reviewed each code reference and determined what changes should be made in light of the organization's new structure. In some cases, for example, a reference to the Public Works Director was changed to the Community Development Director. In other cases, it was appropriate to change the reference to the Public Works Director to the Operations Services Director.
