Title
Amending Section 3.54(9)(b) of the Madison General Ordinances to add the positions of Transit Chief Development Officer, Transit Chief Operating Officer, Transit Chief Maintenance Officer, and Transit Chief Administrative Officer to Compensation Group (CG) 21 and adding or retitling the position elsewhere in the ordinances.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This ordinance amendment adds the positions of Transit Chief Development Officer, Transit Chief Operating Officer, Transit Chief Maintenance Officer, and Transit Chief Administrative Officer to Section 3.54 Subsection 9 and creates the same positions in the Metro budget. This is the final phase of a planned reorganization for Metro that will result in four executive-level Unit Chief positions, rather than a single deputy, to simplify and streamline communication, create more accountability in the work units, and better position Metro for the success of new initiatives. Incumbents of these Division Chief positions must be change-agents who possess the technical skills to anticipate future needs well in advance, build relationships with other transit agencies to learn best practices, develop policies and procedures, train their existing staff, identify missing skills gaps and recruit to fill them, and lead their units through dramatic change. They will be responsible for the long-term success of their units, including strategic direction and planning. Although not department or division heads due to the City’s organizational structure, these positions will have responsibility for more staff and larger budgets than most other departments or divisions in the City.
