Fiscal Note
This amendment removes one of the criteria that invokes the requirement for Council approval of a double-fill position, which will result in fewer resolutions being processed. There is no fiscal impact anticipated.
Title
Amending Section 3.53(6)(h) of the Madison General Ordinances to remove the monetary expenditure requirement for a double-fill position.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This amendment removes the monetary expenditure requirement for a double-fill position and resolves an inconsistency between the ordinance and the Personnel Rules. When Council approval is required, the resolution prepared by Human Resources normally indicates the length of time for the double-fill.
