Fiscal Note
No appropriation is required as the incumbent will not draw a salary during the leave of absence. Because the temporary double-fill candidate earns a salary less than that budgeted for the incumbent Aide, the Mayor's Office budget will realize a salary savings during the period the incumbent is on leave, ranging from approximately $1,100 to $1,300 biweekly.
