Impact of Growth in Population and Square Mileage Relative to Budget
Prior to Fiscal Year 2009, the functions that were ultimately housed in the Housing and Economic
Department (HED) were contained in various Departments. Upon the merger, HED was comprised of
the following divisions: economic development, community development, management of federal
funds, MWBE, the Business Assistance Center, management of tax foreclosed properties, fee-owned
property and leases, and the management of PIDs, TIFs and various outside entities. Earlier this
year, HED was divided into the Economic Development Department, Neighborhood Services
Department and its real property division was moved to the newly created Property Management
Department.
Because of the various functions that have been merged or removed from HED, the following chart
shows the authorized positions:
