Authorize city manager to modify position control
In Plain English
Position control is the city's system for tracking approved job positions and preventing departments from hiring beyond their authorized staffing levels. The city charter requires council approval before the city manager can add, eliminate, or change any positions. If approved, the manager gains this authority for routine staffing adjustments without returning to council each time.
