Explanation
To establish a new authorized strength ordinance for various divisions, agencies and offices of the City of Columbus to be consistent with the adopted 2012 budget as amended, to repeal ordinance 0882-2011; and to declare an emergency.
This ordinance amends current authorized strength, as set forth in ordinance 0882-2011, by amending the strength of various general, other city, and grant fund sanctioned agencies to be consistent with the 2012 amended budget. The strength levels for most general fund agencies are set to be equal to the 2012 budget as amended by City Council (including the Departments of Health and Recreation and Parks). Authorized strength levels of smaller non-general fund agencies are set to be equal to the adopted 2012 budget as amended, while the strength levels of certain larger non-general fund agencies may have their strength set slightly higher to allow for flexibility in hiring.
This ordinance also increases the normal complement of fire captains from fifty-six (56) to fifty-eight (58) to reflect the current number of firefighters in that classification.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the passage of this ordinance that has not already been otherwise addressed with the 2012 appropriation ordinances recently presented before City Council.
