Allow city manager to modify employee positions without council approval
In Plain English
The city manager currently needs council approval to change any employee position. This resolution lets the manager adjust positions independently as long as the changes don't increase the city's budget. The change gives the manager more flexibility to reorganize staff without waiting for council meetings.
