Fiscal Note
The resolution adopts revisions to the City of Madison Personnel rules, as reviewed and recommended by the Personnel Board. These revisions include changes that do not have a fiscal impact, including clarifying definitions, updating terminology, and updating internal processes (e.g. performance management).
Revisions that may have a fiscal impact include the following. 1) Extends the period of time that the Human Resources Director, with approval from the Mayor, can approve a double-fill. Currently, the HR director can approve a double fill up to 30 business days prior to requiring Common Council approval. The revision extends this period to 90 business days. 2) Authorizes the HR director and Finance Director to approve certain position modifications and/or reallocations within the same compensation group, if the modification meets specific criteria (as defined in section 3.A.4). The fiscal impact of the above changes will be monitored through the semi-annual budget projection process. It is anticipated that most agencies will be able to absorb the cost of double fills and position reallocations within their base budget without requiring an additional appropriation. If an appropriation is required to cover a budget deficit, this will be included in a separate resolution.
No additional appropriation is required to adopt the proposed updates.
