Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This amendment re-titles the City Comptroller classification to Finance Director and renames the Comptroller’s Office to the Finance Department. These titles more accurately reflect the role of the position and the department within the City’s overall structure. The title change to Finance Director does not affect the compensation group or range of the position; it remains in CG 21, Range 23. The title changes also do not affect the statutory office of “Comptroller” as outlined in Wis. Stat. § 62.09(10) since the duties and responsibilities performed by the Finance Director are consistent with the duties and responsibilities of “Comptroller” found in Wis. Stat. § 62.09(10) and the proposed changes to Chapter 4 and the Ordinance language provide that the Finance Director also serves as the City Comptroller pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 62.09(10). The ordinances are being revised to reflect the new classification and department name.
