P.R. Laws tit. 21, § 4751
Municipalities may establish a Community Affairs Division by ordinance, to develop and implement divulgation, promotion and consultation programs on the mechanisms, systems and procedures provided by law or ordinance to channel the direct collaboration and participation of the citizens.
The ordinance which creates such a Division shall provide for all matters concerning its organization and operation, including the requirements that the director or chief administrative official shall meet.
In those municipalities in which it is unnecessary or onerous to establish a Community Affairs Division, the mayor may assign the responsibility for implementing the provisions of this chapter to any administrative unit with compatible functions. ln that case, an ordinance must also be approved establishing all that is necessary to reorganize the administrative unit in question and specifically assign to it the aforementioned functions.
