Explanation
This ordinance amends the current authorized strength, as set forth in ordinance 1220-2008, by amending the full-time general and other sanctioned authorized strengths of the Public Service Department to align said strength with part of the Department's recent reorganization. Companion legislation numbered 0128-2008, submitted by the Public Service Department, amends City Codes to reorganize the Division of Transportation and Parking Violations Bureau into the Divisions of Mobility, Planning and Operations and Design and Construction. Changes include the elimination of all sanctioned strength in Parking Violations Bureau and Transportation (totaling 38 and 534, respectively [which included 5 grant funded positions in Transportation]) and the addition of strength in the newly created divisions of Mobility Options, Planning and Operations and Design and Construction. This ordinance aligns authorized strength in these new divisions consistent with figures published in the 2009 Proposed Budget, at 54, 295 and 155, respectively, inclusive of part-time positions. (The 5 aforementioned grant funded positions are being moved to the Division of Planning and Operations at this time, for a total strength in that division of 300).
