Title
Approval of Request to rename City Departments - Department of Planning/Zoning and Administration Services to the Department of Planning and Development
Body
Whereas, Section 8.9 (Administrative Departments) of Chapter VIII (City Administration) of the City of Rochester Hills Charter defines and establishes the Administrative Departments of the City; and
Whereas, Section 8.9 (Administrative Departments) of Chapter VIII (City Administration) of the City of Rochester Hills Charter states "Council shall have the power to reorganize or eliminate existing Departments and create other Departments" as part of the proper administration of the business of the City; and
Whereas, a recent review of Section 8.9 (Administrative Departments) of Chapter VIII (City Administration) of the City of Rochester Hills Charter revealed many of the Department names listed under that Section were not accurately reflected; and
Whereas, a request has been made to change the name of the Department of Planning/Zoning and Administrative Services to the Department of Planning and Development to more accurately reflect the services currently provided by that Department; and
Whereas, the renaming of this Department will not result in any significant overlap of responsibilities between two or more Departments.
Now Therefore Be It Resolved that the Rochester Hills City Council hereby authorizes a revision to Section 8.9 (Administrative Departments) of Chapter VIII (City Administration) of the City of Rochester Hills Charter, to rename the Department of Planning/Zoning & Administrative Services as the Department of Planning and Development.
