Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution changes the authorized strength of three existing Metro Transit Customer Service positions (#2680, #3374, #3831) from 0.5 FTE to 0.6 FTE. The total annual cost of the proposed change is projected to be $28,500, or $9,500 per position annually. The increased costs to the City are attributed to the positions eligibility for health insurance and WRS enrollment when changed to 0.6 FTE.
Title
Increasing the FTE of the Transit Customer Service Representative positions (#2680, #3374, and #3831) in Metro Transit’s budget from 0.5 FTE to 0.6 FTE in order to more effectively perform work and offer WRS and Health Insurance benefits.
Body
WHEREAS, positions #2680, #3374, #3831 in Metro Transit are budgeted at 0.5 FTE; and
WHEREAS, these positions have consistently been scheduled in excess of 20 hours per week; and
WHEREAS, because of changes due to Act 10, a position at 0.5 FTE is not eligible to participate in the Wisconsin Retirement System or the Health Insurance program, and
WHEREAS, upon considering this position through an equity lens, being able to offer these important benefits is a key part of recruiting to fill the position,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the vacant 0.5 FTE positions, #2680 and #3374; and the encumbered position #3831 of Transit Customer Service Representative in Metro Transit’s budget are deleted and recreated as a 0.60 FTE position, thereof.
BE IT FUTHER RESOLVED, that the incumbent in position #3831, Ms. Mary Rieland, be reallocated to the 0.6 FTE position.
