prudent additions to staff to meet customer service demands and service delivery levels. Staff requests for

A summary of these requests and a brief justification for each position are provided as a part of the
Budget
Priorities Summary
. Expenditures are reflected in the
Department Budget Profiles
. A review and
discussion of the need for these investments in personnel will be shared with Town Council during the
proposed budget briefing and work sessions.
Several of these positions are slated for mid-year recruitment and hiring to accommodate budget capacity
and timing of work needs, particularly the parks and recreation positions related to the anticipated spring
2020 MAFC reopening. These positions are fully funded in the future year forecast. The proposed Fiscal
Year 2020 operating budget also includes increased funding for part-time salaries needed to support the
expanded MAFC operations and activities.
Additional staffing requests are incorporated into the two enhanced scenario options for three additional
personnel:
o
Enterprise System Administrator (1 Cent Increment)
o
Public Works Program Coordinator (1 Cent Increment)
o
Network System Administrator (2 Cent Increment)
New position requests are incorporated into the Town’s pay plan according to job description,
classifications and level of responsibility. The Town also annually reviews approximately one-third of
existing positions to validate employee duties and responsibilities and established market levels of pay.
Minor adjustments occur each year within the Town’s adopted pay plan and are included in the proposed
operating budget.
