Fiscal Note
Actual costs for this double-fill will depend upon the exact hire date of the new Surveyor, as well as the new employee's step and longevity status as determined by education and experience. One reasonable estimate would involve a double-fill from June 7 through July 30, based upon the Engineering Division's preferred start date and the remaining vacation days of the incumbent. Double-filling the position for this eight week period would cost approximately $8,736, or $12,308, including benefits. Costs would be absorbed through the management of salary savings within the Engineering Division. No additional appropriation is necessary.
Title
Approving the double-fill of a Surveyor 2 position due to the retirement of the current Surveyor 2, Greg Jones.
Body
WHEREAS, Mr. Greg Jones, a Surveyor 2 in City Engineering, is retiring from City of Madison employment after twenty-nine (29) years of service; and
WHEREAS, it was necessary to hire a replacement immediately; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the new person will start on approximately May 31, 2010, and Mr. Jones will actually leave employment on June 11th, 2010, as he has a considerable number of vacation days owed by the City of Madison which will be paid from his Surveyor 2 position causing a double-fill in excess of the thirty (30) days, which is authorized by Madison General Ordinance;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the double-filling of the Surveyor 2 position in the Engineering Department is approved until such time as Mr. Jones has received the vacation payout for the year in which he retires.
