Council File Number: 13-0600
Item Description:
Item No. (3) Continue a Hard Hiring Freeze effective upon adoption of the 2013-14 Budget. Generally, only positions which are directly responsible for revenue generation, are fully grant- or special-funded, provide public safety services, perform DNA analysis, are of a unique classification (e.g., traffic officer, tax auditor, helicopter pilot) or high priority need, will be considered for unfreeze. Furthermore, the Managed Hiring Committee will continue an expedited unfreeze process for Departments with positions in the following categories: revenue producing, fully grant- or special- funded, elections (including systems), Library, hiring hall, seasonal recreation programs, accounting, summer youth employment, and layoff avoidance. For the most part, vacancies in common classifications will be filled first by transfer. Following a CAO review of the requested position for critical necessity, revenue generation and availability of funding, the hiring request must be submitted to the Managed Hiring Committee and unanimously approved by its representatives. Departments with positions in the abovementioned categories may submit a hiring plan upon approval of the budget which will be considered for unfreeze. This will enable many departments to limit Managed Hiring requests only to those not included in the approved hiring plan and provide flexibility for departments to hire for base level needs.
