Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the City Auditor to appropriate and transfer funds from the general fund, Department of Finance and Management, Division of Financial Management, to the Department of Human Resources, Employee Benefits Fund, to allow the Director of the Department of Human Resources to enter into a not-for-profit service contract with the Columbus Area Labor-Management Committee for the provision of training and assistance to promote improved labor-management relations.
The Columbus Area Labor-Management Committee (CALMC) is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the development of high-performance organizations through joint participation of labor and management. Since its founding in 1986, CALMC has worked with many private and public sector companies and organizations and their unions to help them achieve their goals through the active involvement of its members and through effective training, communications, and leadership to benefit the citizens of Central Ohio. City Council has supported CALMC in the past by making strategic investments in projects that will ultimately create and retain jobs within the City.
In addition, CALMC assists employers and employees in working together in areas such as problem-solving, team building, and leadership, which increases employees' skill levels so they will be more employable, have a voice in workplace operations, and enhance the leadership abilities of both current leaders and future leaders. These services require expertise that cannot be provided by current city employees.
Fiscal Impact: Funding is available for this transfer in the Department of Finance and Management general fund.
