Commission Approves Transfers to Support Mayor’s Reorganization of Development Services

Mayor (speaker 7) described organizational changes included in Resolution 269003 as part of efforts to provide higher-level service and better customer service to residents. She said one position will transition from chief administrative officer to chief of staff for the mayor’s office and another GIS position will be repurposed into a director of development services.

Budget staff explained the transfers are budget neutral and are funded by reassigning vacancy savings from existing accounts. “This is a budget neutral. It's simply a transfer,” staff said. Commissioners asked about source accounts and staff clarified the accounts and the amounts involved.

The commission approved Resolution 269003 by recorded vote (clerk reported 18 yes votes). The mayor said the development services office will relocate to 303 McGee Street and will be closed briefly during the move.
