Editor's note-In addition to amending § 2-64H, Exec. Ord. No. 26-81 changed the title of div. 14 from "Office of Community and Government Relations" to "Office of Information." A motion made at the Council meeting of Sept. 1, 1981, to disapprove the order failed to pass; therefore the order became effective Sept. 9, 1981. Subsequently, 1987 L.M.C., ch. 28, § 5 changed the title of the office to "Office of Public Information."
