The shakeup is not expected to create any new jobs at Ottawa city hall. A major shakeup at Ottawa city hall is spinning off a new department tasked with tackling council's top priorities.
The aim is to help the city lobby for provincial and federal funding for those priorities, while attracting new talent to a leadership team hit by a recent wave of retirements. Above all, the change seeks to create a clear line of accountability by putting one person in charge of getting results on those files.
"I see this as a huge opportunity to move forward with a strategic focus on the things that are important," he said.For now, the new department will be run by Ryan Perrault, currently the manager of business and technical support services with the emergency and protective services department. But the city is planning to launch a recruitment competition next week to find a permanent chief.
It will keep responsibility for zoning, reviewing development applications and issuing building permits, while "strategic housing projects" and the city's real estate office will fall under the new strategic initiatives department.
