Under the proposal, the following departments will now be under the Department of Recreation and Administrative Services: 1-purchasing agent (transfer from the finance department), 2-animal control and housing rehabilitation (transfer from the environmental affairs and community development department); and 3-emergency services coordinator will leave the health department and be assigned to 9-1-1 Central Dispatch.
In addition, the commission will consider posting an assistant crime victim's advocate in the prosecutor's office; a full time animal control officer and full time youth development worker at the Juvenile Home.
