Green Bay personnel committee approves six hires, reclassifies records position

The Green Bay Personnel Committee voted unanimously on April 8 to approve filling six city positions and to reclassify a records clerk position to a public records specialist, the committee recorded during its roll call and regular business.

The approvals came as the committee moved to take multiple personnel items together. Committee members approved filling the following positions resulting from internal transfers: business support specialist, custodian, account clerk 2, time clerk, operator 1 and civil engineer. The committee also approved reclassifying one records clerk position to a public records specialist and authorized filling that reclassified position.

Committee members conducted a roll call at the start of the meeting; Alder Johnson was excused. Alder Grant, Alder Hankves and Alder Galvin were present. Committee member Joe Carlin identified himself during the proceedings and seconded at least one motion. A staff member said the reclassification was proposed because “it’s because of the huge volume of public records requests that we get that we have that.”

All motions recorded in the meeting passed by voice vote without opposition. The committee discussed taking multiple agenda items together and briefly suspended the usual order to consider items collectively; the committee then approved the hiring and reclassification requests as presented. No amendments or conditions to the hires or the reclassification were recorded in the transcript.

Votes at a glance: the committee approved (unanimous, no recorded nay or abstention) the motion to take multiple personnel items together; approved filling the six positions listed above; and approved reclassification of a records clerk to public records specialist and the authorization to fill that reclassified position. Alder Johnson was noted as excused; no vote tallies by individual names were recorded in the transcript.

The committee adjourned after completing the personnel items. The meeting transcript shows these actions occurred during the committee’s regular business and roll-call portions; no additional follow-up tasks, effective dates or implementation assignments were recorded in the transcript.
