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 2011 budget as amended, to repeal ordinance 1655-2010; and to declare an emergency.
This ordinance amends the current authorized strength, as set forth in ordinance 1655-2010, by amending the strength of various general fund, other city, and grant fund sanctioned agencies to be consistent with the 2011 amended budget. The strength levels for most general fund agencies are set to be consistent with the 2011 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 consistent with the adopted 2011 budget as amended, while the strength of some larger non-general fund agencies may have their strength set slightly higher to allow for flexibility in hiring.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact with passage of this ordinance that is otherwise not addressed in the (companion) 2011 appropriation ordinances being considered by ordinance of City Council.
