Study Calls For Reclassifying DPW Positions
A management study by the Department of Administrative Services urges upward reclassification of five DPW posts and elimination of the deputy commissioner role. It cites underclassification of the DPW construction inspector and calls for moving duties to a new planning post while upgrading several other positions. The audit warns of staff exodus if changes are not made and suggests shifting building codes duties to law enforcement.
