Explanation

BACKGROUND: The City's 2004 appropriation ordinances numbers 2550-2003 and 2578-2003 reflects the consolidation of the functions of the License Section, Communications Division and Weights and Measures Section into a new division called the Support Services Division. This reorganization was necessary to better organize various operations within Public Safety in a more efficient and effective manner and reduce the need to fill vacant positions.

This legislation amends various sections of the Columbus City Codes and consolidates the operations of chapters 501, 1941, and 2901 into the Division of Support Services.
