Committee approves library staffing change and shifts public-health IT position funding
Summary
The Manchester Committee on Human Resources and Insurance approved a library staffing reclassification and a change to the funding mix for a public-health IT support position in voice votes during its meeting; both items were described as within existing budgets or grant availability.
The Committee on Human Resources and Insurance of the Manchester City Commissions approved two personnel-related requests in voice votes during its meeting.
First, the committee approved a request from Denise Van Zanten, the library director, to change her department’s staffing complement by adding one business administrator position (grade 20) and defunding one existing Accountant I position (grade 16). A motion to approve the communication was made and seconded; the committee approved the change by voice vote.
Second, the committee approved a request from Anna Thomas, the public health director, to change the funding structure for the department’s information-technology support specialist position from 100% federally funded to a split of 50% city funds and 50% grant funds. Anna Thomas was present for that item; committee members moved and seconded approval and the change was adopted by voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded.
Both items were presented to the committee as budget-neutral or within available funding: the library director’s request was described as within the library’s budget, and the public-health funding change was presented as a reallocation between federal, city and grant sources.
The meeting did not record roll-call vote tallies for either item; minutes indicate both motions passed on the ayes of the committee. No amendments or conditions were placed on either approval.
