Human Resources committee approves 2025 B‑16 staffing updates

The Waukesha City Human Resources Committee voted unanimously to approve the 2025 updated B‑16 staffing resolution (ID 2500279) after a staff presentation highlighting changes from 2024 and a brief member discussion.

Staff told the committee they would "just go over the changes from 2024," and then described a range of department‑level adjustments including a clerk/treasurer split, IT position additions, library reductions, park mechanic transfers and police clerical reclassifications. After staff corrected a spreadsheet detail during the meeting, the committee moved and approved the resolution without recorded opposition.

Committee Chair called for the vote on ID 2500279 and members responded "aye," completing a unanimous approval. The committee had noted a quorum earlier in the meeting and confirmed four members were present while two members — alderwoman Wilson and alderman McGoldry — were absent. The approval authorizes the reclassifications and position changes as presented and recorded for the 2025 staffing plan.

The move implements a compensation‑study informed reclassification plan that staff said is intended to align duties and support forthcoming hiring where vacancies exist. Staff indicated some items (for example the network administrator grade and exact timing of some attrition‑driven reductions) would be finalized in follow‑up documentation and that clerical‑to‑administrative reclassifications would have a corrected salary grade before the final personnel schedule is published.

The committee will transmit the approved staffing resolution for implementation and any required downstream administrative updates.
