Title
Amending Secs. 12.03, 12.142, 12.1425 and other sections of the Madison General Ordinances to change the title of the City Traffic Engineer to the Director of Traffic Engineering and to update the title of the Parking Division Manager, where necessary.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This ordinance changes the title of the City Traffic Engineer position to the Director of Traffic Engineering to more closely align with the position responsibilities. Secs. 12.03, 12.142 and 12.1425 used the term “Traffic Engineer” to refer to both the Traffic Engineer and the Parking Manager. Those sections will thus need to be amended to reflect the retitling and the current responsibilities of the respective positions. This ordinance will further authorize the City Attorney to make the necessary ordinance changes to effectuate this change in position title, and to update the title of the Parking Division Manager where necessary. The duties and authorities associated with both positions will not change as a result of this ordinance.
