Februar~ 13, 2001 - City Manager's Report - 01 - 50 - Adoption of an ordinance to revise various sections of the Code of the City of Portsmouth with respect to the definition of the City's chief finance officer. Recommendation: · Adoption of an ordinance to revise various sections of the City Code with respect to the definition of the City's finance officer. Purpose and Need: · Over the past few years, there have been several changes to the job title of the person designated as the City's chief financial officer such as director of finance and deputy city manager for finance. As these changes have occurred the City's code has not been updated to reflect the change in job title. · The current City Code references deputy city manager for finance as the finance officer of the City. Though there are deputy city manager positions, the Chief Financial Officer currently serves as the finance officer of the City. · The purpose of this code change is to amend the definition of the chief financial officer to be a position designated by the City Manager that is not job title specific but carries the responsibilities outlined in the Code. · This change will prevent the need for future code changes with respect to job titles as positions are changed and reorganized through time. Financial Impact: · There is no financial impact. Motion by Mr. Robinett, and seconded by Mr. Pitts, to adopt the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote: "AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA (1988) WITH RESPECT TO THE DEFINITION, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH."
