Current City organization
Since the Charter Amendment took affect on Dec. 3, 2021, this is the structure of our City government. The Mayor is the chief executive officer over departments. The City Council is the legislative body that adopts local laws, makes policy, and oversee programs. The change, however, left many roles and responsibilities unclear.
According to City Charter, the Mayor must submit an organizational plan to City Council. The Council determines the design of the City’s administration by ordinance, which the Mayor can approve or veto.
