Explanation
This ordinance amends current authorized strength, as set forth in ordinance 2282-2015.
The strength levels for most general fund agencies are set to be equal to the 2015 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 2015 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 amends the authorized strength level for the Facilities Management Division by adding one full-time position and two part-time positions. These additional staff will be utilized to provide security services at the Fleet Management Division’s Groves Road facility. One part-time position is added in the Finance and Management Director's Office to allow for flexibility in hiring additional help for the projects involving energy management. In the Department of Recreation and Parks, one part-time position will be converted to a full-time position to provide an increased service level in marketing and outreach. In the Department of Human Resources, one part-time position dedicated to workplace safety will be converted to a full-time position, and an additional full-time limited position will be added to provide increased capacity during a staff transition period. Finally, the Municipal Court Judges will add four full-time positions (all non-general fund) corresponding to additional grant funding and in response to increased service level needs.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for these strength levels are budgeted and/or the positions will not be filled until revenues have been clearly identified and appropriated. In all cases, the ability to hire will be monitored by the Division of Finance and Management. As such, there is no negative fiscal impact associated with passage of this ordinance.
