Fiscal Note
The estimated maximum cost in 2011 for the double-fill is $20,556 in salary expense, plus $8,736 for benefits ($29,292 in total). The actual cost may be lower depending on whether non-paid leave time is utilized during the leave of absence. Funding is available in the Mayor's Office due to salary savings derived from staff turnover.
