Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance amends Title 2 of the Columbus City Codes to authorize the elimination of the Division of Operational Support (DOS) within the Department of Public Utilities (DPU). The Division of Operational Support was established primarily to support the other two divisions of the department by providing long-term information systems strategic planning. Responsibility for technology support was transferred to the Department of Technology. This transfer of responsibility provides an opportunity to realign operations within the department. Current staff and customer service responsibilities of DOS are being reassigned to the Divisions of Power and Water and Sewerage and Drainage in the proposed 2008 budgets
