RECITALS A. The city's Economic and Community Development department was last reorganized in 2009, when development review, and review, inspection, investigation and enforcement of international building codes and fire codes all came under the direction of the economic and community development director. B. Having been in operation for over six years, and with staffing changes recently affecting key personnel, it is appropriate to clarify the authority of the position of the economic and community development director as well as the department's role within the overall city organization in a manner that is consistent with the city.council's practice with other departments. C. The planning director position, which was carried over in 2009 when the planning department became part of the larger economic and community development department, should be eliminated, and consistent with other city departments, the economic and community development director should be authorized to establish and fill, subject to appropriate 1 Administration and Personnel Amend KCC 2 authorization, a deputy economic and community development director as well as departmental subdivision managers.
