City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

Meeting Date: 06/07/05

Item No.:         11

Recommendation: 

That the Common Council adopt Ordinance #2357, An Ordinance Repealing Section 2.46(a) (4) b, and Creating Sections 2.45 (k) and 2.46(a) (12), relating to the establishment of the Street Department and the Position of Street Superintendent.

Background: 

Sometime ago, the Council began the process of amending the Municipal Code to correctly reflect the City’s departmental functions and organization.  The effect of Ordinance #2357 will be that the Street Department is appropriately identified as a regular department, rather than a division of Public Works, and that the position of Street Superintendent is appropriately identified as a department manager.  This change is meant only to recognize existing structure and not to change responsibilities or accountability.

Fiscal Impact:

None.
