New City Division Focuses on Community and Neighborhoods

Some city departments are finding themselves in a recent reorganization spree to improve efficiency without adding extra costs.

Spokane?s Mayor David Condon announced the changes yesterday saying the new division will combine groups focused on community and neighborhood services.

It?s a long list of groups affected, but it?s the kind of efficiency and improvements outlined in the Mayor?s 100-Day Action Plan. Instead of the separate groups focused on Neighborhood Services, Code Enforcement, Community Development, Human Services and East Central Community Center programs, they are now one.

This change also consolidates grant services meaning organizations seeking grants with different services only need to apply once.

Though the restructuring affects neighborhood services, actual Spokane neighborhoods will not be affected. The man in charge of that department originally, Jonathan Mallahan, is being promoted to handle the new division entirely.

The city says the reorganization means using existing staff and resources.
