Personnel committee asks staff to draft organizational chart aligned with employee handbook
Summary
Committee directed staff to prepare a recommended organizational chart that matches the employee handbook's supervisory relationships; motion to have HR and administration produce the chart for committee review passed with no opposition.
The Franklin City Personnel Committee directed staff to produce a proposed organizational chart aligned with the current employee handbook and governing documents.
Committee members raised concerns that the city's existing charts and handbook language were inconsistent about who supervises whom. Discussion focused on whether a director/administrator role should serve as an administrative buffer between the mayor (a part-time elected official) and department heads. Members asked staff to prepare a chart that reflects handbook-defined reporting relationships so the committee can consider recommended changes before forwarding anything to the common council.
The motion directing Blake Weing and Kelly to prepare the chart was moved, seconded and approved by the committee with no recorded opposition. Members requested the chart show supervisory lines consistent with the handbook and suggested staff also provide related governing-code excerpts for comparison when the item returns for review.
