The City of Kingston organization structure is designed to be citizen-focused and results-oriented.
"Citizen-focused" means we have a continuous improvement philosophy, constantly striving to deliver quality service to our community at a reasonable cost.
"Results-oriented" means we will accomplish Council's priorities by setting measurable goals and objectives to get things done.
The corporate focus is to implement policies, programs and services that are aligned to following strategic directions of Council under the umbrella of the four pillars of sustainability — economic, environmental, social and cultural:
- Creating a green community.
- Developing the city wisely.
- Building affordable housing and reducing poverty.
- Supporting heritage, arts and culture.
- Enhancing neighbourhoods.
- Promoting diversity.
- Pursuing economic strength.
Our corporate management team (CMT) is led by the Chief Administrative Officer and is comprised of three commissioners and the President & Chief Executive Officer of Utilities Kingston, who also manages Public Works Services.
CMT provides strategic direction/leadership and takes responsibility for the following service groups:
- Sustainability and Growth
- Strategy, Environment & Communications
- Recreation & Leisure
- Planning & Development
- Cultural Services
- Community Development Services
- Fire & Rescue
- Building & Licensing
- Residential Long Term Care Services
- Community & Family Services
- Public Works Services
- Engineering
- Public Works
- Solid Waste
- Corporate Services
- Transportation
- Information Systems & Technology
- Corporate Asset Operations
- Real Estate & Construction Services
A self-directed corporate administrative team is composed of the directors of administrative departments (Financial Services, Legal Services, Clerk's Department and Human Resources & Organization Development). This corporate administrative team reports directly to the Chief Administrative Officer and is responsible for corporate support, advice and administrative services to the Corporation as a whole.
The service groups led by CMT have a distinct, but inter-connected purpose. With a philosophy of continuous improvement, together with Utilities Kingston and our community partners, we will "Make Kingston Work" reflecting our corporate values of teamwork, respect, integrity and pride.
