Minutes of the May 18, 2023 Regular Meeting PRESENTATION ITEMS 2. NEW MOBILITY DIVISION IN PUBLIC WORKS DEPT (RICE – 30 MINUTES) In 2019, the City embarked on a multi-phased reorganization to achieve an organizational structure to best position the City to efficiently meet the needs of its community in the future; and allow for both effective and efficient governance and operational innovation. Part of this reorganization includes the creation of a new Mobility Services Division comprised of Bicycle and Pedestrian services (Active Transportation), Parking Services, and Transit Services. In establishing a Mobility Services Division, this new organizational structure enhances internal services and collaboration, leverage available resources, address current workload needs, and enhance customer service experiences. The Mobility Services Division furthers the organizational effectiveness of the Transit, Parking, and Active Transpiration functions under one unified umbrella. The focus of the Mobility Services Division is on how community members choose how to get from place to place, whether that be work, school, leisure activities, visiting downtown, or weekly tasks such as grocery shopping. There are numerous efforts across these programs that cohesively intertwine under the Mobility Services Division related to Major City Goals, policy implementation, programmatic efforts, capital and legacy projects, and study implementation. The reorganization included hiring a Mobility Services Deputy Director of Public Works, as well as reclassifying the existing Transit Manager position into a Mobility Services Business Manager.
