Title
Amending Section 3.53(6)(e) and creating Section 3.54(10)(c) of the Madison General Ordinances to clarify the purposes of a provisional appointment and to allow persons in CG 18 or 44 to receive the higher salary of a position they might fill on a temporary basis.

DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: In some instances, persons in Compensation Groups 18 or 44 are asked to temporarily fill a position with a higher salary, but the ordinances do not now allow those persons to receive that higher salary on a temporary basis. This amendment allows such a temporary higher salary. It also clarifies the authority of the HR Director to make provisional appointments.
