Under the City Manager form of government, the City Board had both legislative and executory (administrative) power. Thus, the City Board had the power to determine how the administration would be organized and function. Under this power, the City Board approved and enacted a City Organizational Chart. Under our current form of government, the City Council's statutory power is primarily limited to legislative power while the Mayor is the chief executive officer responsible for the efficient administration of city government. The City Council uses its power to determine budgetary matters including numbers and costs of city personnel. However, within the confines of the budget, the Mayor has the statutory power to organize his or her administration for efficiency and service. The current City Organization Chart was enacted on April Fool's Day of 2003 and became out of date within a year or two. I really do not know how many major or minor "reorganizations" the City has had over the last six years. It is clear that none were presented as an amendment to the April 1, 2003 organizational chart. I recommend that the §33.001 CITY ORGANIZATIONAL CHART be amended and that the chart published in the Fayetteville reflect only the unchanging statutorily required organization. Both the Police Chief and Fire Chief report by statutory requirement to the Mayor just as the City Prosecutor reports to the City Attorney and the District Court reports to the District Judge. For purposes of the Fayetteville Code, I recommend that the broad term "Administration"be substituted for the detailed and ever-changing department and division mix employed in previous organizational charts enacted into the Fayetteville Code. The Mayor would then publish(and easily change if situations or conditions require modification)the detailed Administration Organization Chart on the City's web page and in other ways so our citizens will have accurate and up- to-date knowledge of our city government's organization. I recommend this amendment to§33.001 of the Fayetteville Code. ORDANINCE NO.
