Background:
The General Services Department was created in 1993, when it was separated from the Chief Administrative Office. At that time, the department's responsibilities included functions providing support to other County departments - building and grounds maintenance, real property management, mail service, printing services, and building construction management. Over time, a number of functions were transferred to the General Services Departmen, including airports, fleet management, and parks and trails development.
Reason for Recommendation:
Over time, the General Services Department has taken on a variety of service delivery responsibilities. As a result, the department has a number of competing missions for the provision of support to county departments and the provision of services to the public. The purpose of the reorganziation is to provide the department with a single mission - to provide quality and responsive facility and fleet support to County departments. The attached document outlines the reorganization and the transfer of several functions to other County departments.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Upon conceptual approval, staff will provide the Board with a implementation plan and timeline.
