Notes
39
This list includes department head positions which are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. Also includes heads of the two departments in the legislative branch, which have different apointment processes.
40
See the Divided Vote Tracker for a more detailed breakdown of the divided confirmation votes.
41
There are some proposals to reduce the number of positions subject to council confirmation, however, this would require a charter amendment. The Charter Commission and City Council are in the early stages of considering such an amendment.
