Summary

The commission voted to unfreeze a compliance manager position in the Office of Equity and Inclusion, approving a prorated funding amount for the remainder of the fiscal year to address a rising investigative caseload.

The City Commission unanimously voted to unfreeze and fund a compliance manager position in the Office of Equity and Inclusion for the remainder of the fiscal year, after staff described a growing caseload and the unit's constrained capacity.

The equal opportunity director (presenter) and Adam Maxwell, compliance investigator, reviewed the office's current report: during the recent reporting period there were 47 inquiries and 10 active cases, with the case-process typically taking over 100 days. The director told the commission the prorated, all-in cost shown in the packet (for the remainder of the year) was illustrative, and that hiring will be conducted at a competitive midpoint-range greater than the proration listed.

Commissioners stressed fiscal caution and asked that the finance committee review frozen positions and provide context about which vacancies remain. Commissioner Willets moved to unfreeze the position; the motion passed unanimously. Staff said they planned to post the position immediately and aimed to fill it as quickly as recruitment best practices allow.
