SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance repeals Toledo Municipal Code ("TMC") Chapter 135, Department of Economic and Community Development and enacts a new TMC Chapter 135, Department of Housing and Community Development, to update the Chapter to align with current and proposed organizational and operating structure. The Changes included removal of the division of code enforcement, whose functions have been moved to the new Department of Building and Code Compliance and DPS (urban beautification).
