This agenda item would amend the NBMC to include the recent restructuring and renaming of certain City departments. RECOMMENDATION: Introduce Ordinance No. 2011 - — amending Chapter 2.12 of the Title 2 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code pertaining to administrative departments and organization of the City and pass to a second reading on June 28, 2011. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. DISCUSSION: The City Manager's Office and executive management team analyzed the work flow, staffing and costs for a number of City services. The goal was to identify what, if any, changes were needed to best absorb citywide budget reductions while also structuring the organization to remain effective and fiscally sound into the future. The planning effort also focused on further increasing the efficiency of services provided and on streamlining customer service. This resulted in a number of organizational changes related to how City departments are structured, the responsibilities of each department, and even what certain departments are named to best reflect the services provided. Examples of these changes include: City Administrative Department Restructuring and Renaming June 14, 2011 Page 2 1. The Utilities Department and the General Services Department have been combined into one department. The new department, named Municipal Operations, enables the sharing of facilities, equipment and resources, and in certain areas, allows for the cross training of personnel. 2. The Building Department and the Planning Department have been combined to form the Community Development Department. This new departmental organization improves internal communication and project coordination and has already improved customer service. 3. In July 2012, the Administrative Services Department will be renamed the Finance Department to more accurately reflect the services provided. This department now focuses solely on the financial affairs of the City including budget preparation, revenue billing and collection, payroll, accounting, audits, treasury and investments. The Information Technology Division was transferred into the City Manager's Office. Ordinance 2011- _ (Attachment A) includes these and other proposed changes to Chapter 2.12 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
