Official Text
To the Honorable Board:
Pursuant to Section 37 of Chapter 400 of the Acts of 2012, which amended the Charter of the City of Somerville, I hereby introduce the attached administrative code which provides for a modified internal organization and administration of the City of Somerville government.
The intention and purpose of an administrative code is to establish a legal, practical and efficient plan of organization and administration procedures which allows for a more effective delivery of municipal services to the residents of Somerville. The duties and functions of agencies described in the attached administrative orders are intended to be read broadly and serve to illustrate but not to circumscribe the duties and responsibilities of the agencies of the city under the charter, ordinances and the general laws.
The Code is divided in two parts:
1/ Multiple-member appointive organization, being the boards and commissions;
2/ Administrative organization, being the city departments.
My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
