Perian, I know that this may not exactly be the type of answer you are looking for, but before deciding on the workflow, and what seems to be the internal "ownership" of the website, you way want to be clear on what i believe are two important questions:
Who are the most significant stakeholders (internal and external) for the web site? What are the paybacks --- financial and mission-related --- that you are expecting from the website in its new manifestation? A clear understanding of the answers to these questions may help identify where the website should live, and how the work should flow (editorially if not technically). Clarity on these issues right up front might also minimize the extent to which the website design and priorities simply reflect the opinions of the department in which it lives.. I hope this helps...
