Summary
Filling already-budgeted city jobs that don't change pay or classification no longer requires committee and council approval. HR staff said the old process delayed job offers and cost the city good candidates, and that only one alder inquiry came in over 20+ such vacancies since late 2025. Alders will still see all open positions on each committee agenda.
