KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops has announced changes to its corporate structure.
In a news release, the city says the change is an “effort to consolidate services, create organizational efficiencies, and reduce operational expenses.”
The restructuring follows a recent review of services and capacity necessitated by the departure of the city’s Corporate Services and Community Safety Director David Duckworth.
“The new structure follows best practices in municipal organization and streamlines existing city departments into four main functional areas: Civic Operations; Community and Protective Services; Development, Engineering, and Sustainability; and Corporate Services,” says the city. “These four departments are supported by Administration and Human Resources and Safety.”
The changes will take effect March 3 and the city says the restructuring will provide an annual savings of between $150,000 and $325,000.
“The total fiscal reduction will be determined over the next several weeks and will depend on human resource changes resulting from the restructure.”
