Title
CHARTER - Repealing and recreating Section 3.12 of the Madison General Ordinances to establish an office of City Treasurer, repealing Section 3.35(1)(jj) of the Madison General Ordinances to delete the title of City Clerk-Treasurer from the list of positions exempt from Civil Service, creating Section 3.13 of the Madison General Ordinances to establish an office of City Clerk, creating Sections 3.35(1)(jj) and (kk) to add the titles of City Clerk and City Treasurer to the list of positions exempt from Civil Service, and amending Section 3.38(6)(b) of the Madison General Ordinances to update the list of positions to be compensated as managerial employees.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: Recently, the City changed its ordinances to have a combined Clerk-Treasurer position. In recruiting for that position, it became clear that the City would in fact have to separately recruit for Clerk and Treasurer. This ordinance makes a number of changes to separately establish the positions of Clerk and Treasurer as managerial employees with employment contracts, like other City managers. The ordinance amendment should be considered at the same time as the ordinance to update the compensation schedule with the new and deleted positions (Legistar No. 03524), the resolution deleting and creating the necessary positions from the permanent salary detail of the respective budgets (Legistar No. 03495), and the resolution to approve the employment contract for the new City Clerk (Legistar No. 03477).
