Title
Amending Sections 39.01(3) and 39.03(10) of the Madison General Ordinances to rename the Equal Opportunity Division Head the Equal Opportunity Division Manager.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: Sometime around 2005 the Affirmative Action Division and Equal Opportunities Division merged under the umbrella of the Department of Civil Rights. As part of the re-organization of the Department of Civil Rights the positions were re-titled from Affirmative Action Division Head and Equal Opportunities Division Head to Affirmative Action Manager and Equal Opportunities Manager and placed in Compensation Group 18. The City’s class specifications and job bulletins for these positions were changed from Division Head to Division Manager but when the ordinance was amended the new title was not changed for the Equal Opportunities Division. This ordinance corrects that scrivener’s error.
