Background and Rationale
body
The establishment of the Enterprise and Administrative Services department is to support the Information and Public Records Service Team in the areas of Administrative Services, Contract Services, Enterprise Services and Enterprise Project Management Office by aligning service team and countywide functions that support the county’s goals and strategic priorities including effective and efficient operations, strong Residents First service models and transparency and accountability in all business operations and practices.
The Ramsey County Home Rule Charter section 5.01A.1 states that acts of the Ramsey County Board, which shall be by ordinance, include the following: establish, structure, merge, or abolish any county department, office, agency, board or commission, except as provided for in this charter.
On November 2, 2021, the Ramsey County Board adopted the proposed Enterprise and Administrative Services Department Ordinance which establishes the Enterprise and Administrative Services department as part of the Information and Public Records Service Team. The Ordinance became effective on December 17, 2021, the end of the 45-day referendum period.
