Background and Rationale
body
Property Management has functioned as a county department for decades, originally structured as a line division of the County Manager’s Office, under the direction and supervision of the County Manager.
In 2021, as part of a broad effort to improve policy management and compliance, the County Manager’s Office coordinated a comprehensive review of county policy documents, including the Administrative Code. This review identified ambiguous language referring to Property Management as both a division and a department within the Economic Growth and Community Investment (EGCI) Service Team. This ordinance is necessary to establish and structure the Property Management department as part of EGCI.
The Ramsey County Home Rule Charter section 5.01.A.1 requires that certain acts of the Ramsey County Board shall be by ordinance, including: “Establish, structure, merge or abolish any county department, office, agenda, board or commissions, except as provided for in this charter.”
