Media Release - Administrative Restructuring Changes

October 9, 2024

(GREATER NAPANEE, ON) – The Town of Greater Napanee has implemented changes to the
administrative structure of the organization.

At a Regular Session of Council on October 8, 2024, Greater Napanee Council endorsed a report
outlining administrative restructuring changes brought forward by the Chief Administrative Officer. These changes are being implemented to create additional capacity within the organization and to be more efficient.

The following changes have been implemented to maximize the use of resources that are already
available to the organization:

• The creation of a Director of Building & Planning position and a Director of Corporate Capital
  Planning, Fleet, and Facilities, to be funded by the existing salaries of the former General
  Managers of Infrastructure and Community and Corporate Services. The two positions of retiring
  general managers are not being replaced. Infrastructure will be merged with Growth and
  Development and will be overseen by a single General Manager.
• Reprioritizing resources from the organization’s Community Economic Development function to a
  Procurement and Government Grants function including the transfer of position and salary dollars
  from one position to the other.
• Changing the mandate of Parks and Facilities to Parks, Recreation, and Culture, elevating the
  manager level to a director level, and ensuring they have a seat at the senior leadership table.
• Changing the reporting structure of the Information Technology department, which will report to the
  General Manager of Finance.
• Transitioning the role of Administrative Coordinator/CEMC in the Fire Department to a Compliance
  Officer in Human Resources.
• Moving Communications into Executive Services and having the function report directly to the
  CAO.

Administrative restructuring changes are effective as of October 9, 2024. The cost of these changes will
result in overall operational savings for the organization in the amount of $52,000 per year.

While the organization is undergoing administrative restructuring, the impact on services offered by the
Town is anticipated to be minimal.
