A Motion to Approve an Updated Organizational Chart for the Village
Manager’s Office and Development Customer Services Department,
Including the Creation of a Neighborhood Services Department
Overview:
In order to meet both emergent and long-term organizational goals and
address succession planning needs, the Village Manager is proposing changes
to the organizational chart designed to prioritize efficient and effective
baseline services and ensure visibility and responsiveness with important
initiatives and key organizational priorities in support of the Board’s goals. The
reorganization includes the following elements: 1) The creation of a standalone
Neighborhood Services Department designed to oversee and elevate code
compliance, housing programs, and grants management and bring back
neighborhood and community engagement and civic education and
participation. 2) The permanent integration of the Community Relations
Department's responsibilities within the Office of Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion. 3) Changes to the Development Customer Services Department,
including a name change to “Development Services,” which is in line with
industry standards and an enhanced focus on economic development and
vitality within the Village organization. Since the staff’s presentation on May
8th, staff has updated the job title of the administrative support roles within
Development Services, Neighborhood Services, and the Village Manager’s
Office to be Executive Coordinator. Additionally, staff has updated the
presentation to include the OPRF Chamber of Commerce in the Development
Services Department’s list of key initiatives and Special Events Permitting in
the Neighborhood Service Department’s list of key initiatives.

A Motion to Approve an Updated Organizational Chart for the Public
Works Department
Overview:
The Village is facing increased attention and concerns around traffic and
mobility needs in the community. In an effort to better address these issues,
staff recommends a number of organizational changes creating a new
Transportation Engineering Division within the Public Works Department.
These proposed changes provide more direct oversight and attention to
transportation and traffic issues within the Village. Proposed changes include
a reorganization of existing positions and reclassifying and/or title changes for
four positions within the Department. There is no increase in the number of
FTE with the proposed changes.
