Title
AMENDED SUBSTITUTE - Amending Sections 3.12(2)and (6), creating a new Section 3.12(7), and renumbering current Sections 3.12(7) through (9) to Sections 3.12(8) through (10), respectively of the Madison General Ordinances to separate the Economic and Community Development Division into two Divisions, and creating Section 33.14 of the Madison General Ordinances to restore the language outlining the Senior Center Board, which was inadvertently omitted from the reorganization of Chapters 3 and 33.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance divides the Economic and Community Development Division of the Department of Planning and Community and Economic Development into an Economic Development Division and a Community Development Division. It moves responsibility for the Community Development Block Grant Office, the Senior Center, and the Office of Community Services to the Community Development Division. This ordinance implements part of Amendment No. 31 to the Operating Budget. Additional ordinance changes for personnel issues arising from the Budget amendment will be done by separate ordinance.
In addition, during the ordinance changes to Chapter 3 and the Department reorganization, reference to the Senior Center Board was inadvertently dropped from the ordinances. This ordinance restores the Senior Center Board as Sec. 33.14, MGO.
