Next up, he's barely week into office, but Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke has announced a bold plan to streamline government by eliminating four city departments and creating three new ones.
Berke calls the move the first major change to the city's government in 23 years. We're told the reorganization will save the city about $370 thousand dollars a year.
Under Berke's plan, the departments of Education, Arts and Culture; Neighborhood Services; Human Services; and Parks and Recreation will be eliminated.
Three new departments -- Youth and Family Development, Economic and Community Development, and Transportation -- will be set up.
And City Hall will take on a more corporate structure. While 14 different people reported to Ron Littlefield, only five will report to Berke.
