Fiscal Note
The proposed ordinance establishes rules for the approval of furlough programs, which will now require Common Council approval in order to implement mandatory furloughs for City employees. Currently, administration of furloughs is overseen by the Mayor’s Office through establishing APMs. The ordinance does not establish or alter any specific furlough program and therefore does not have a fiscal impact.
