City staffing: enterprise funds add positions while general fund headcount falls
Summary
Staff reported net citywide FTEs increased by about five, with most additions in enterprise funds (marina and stormwater) while general fund FTEs fell by about 4.5; wages were increased on average by about 6%.
Sarah Campbell summarized personnel changes included in the proposed budget: bringing the Marina in-house added three full-time and seven part-time employees; the stormwater program adds three full-time positions; and a chief resiliency officer position is proposed split across utility administration. She said the net increase in city headcount is five full-time equivalents overall, while the general fund shows a net reduction of about 4.5 FTEs.
Campbell also said wage increases across divisions average about 6 percent. Commissioners sought clarity on which departments absorbed decreases and which enterprise funds pick up their own staffing costs; staff replied that many decreases reflected eliminated vacancies or reassignments rather than layoffs.
