RESOLUTION Nth 3 1c1 I
A RESOLUTION authorizing reorganization of the Community Development
Department
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department is responsible for
management of the Block Grant program, code enforcement activities, building
inspection services, planning services, and economic development services, and
WHEREAS, the code enforcement function has expanded over the past few
years to include rental licensing and operation of the Code Enforcement Board,
thereby improving the effectiveness of the code enforcement function, and
WHEREAS, the capacity of the planning function has been somewhat eroded
by its responsibility to also oversee the expanding code enforcement activities, and
WHEREAS, the economic development function has been limited to the
equivalent of a half-time position within the department and the City Council finds
that the potential benefits of a more active economic development program warrant a
full-time position devoted to economic development purposes, and
WHEREAS, the capacity of the existing planning function can be enhanced by
relieving it from supervisory responsibilities over the code enforcement function,
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS.
Section 1 That the City Manager is hereby authorized to implement the
reorganization of the Community and Economic Development Department as
reflected in the organization chart attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit
1
Section 2. That the City Manager is hereby authorized to create and fill a full-
time Economic Development Specialist position and include the additional expense in
