            The FY2022 Adopted Budget includes the following significant changes in the departments:

            City  Attorney  includes  an  increase  of  four  authorized  positions  (AP)—one  Litigation  Attorney  position,  two
            Transactional Attorney positions and one support staff position to increase staff response to legal workload.

            City  Manager’s  Office  includes  the  addition  of  three  positions  –  an  Education  Strategies  Manager,
            Communications Director and a Sr. Management Analyst (for the OPEM division).

            Code Compliance includes full-year personnel and operating funding for the new North animal shelter.

            Development Services includes an increase of ten APs. This includes the addition of seven positions to meet
            growing demands for customer service, project facilitation, engineering, Urban Forestry and Finance; one position
            transferred from the IT solutions department and two positions transferred from the Property Management
            Department.  The  department  also  transferred  the  Public  Art  program  to  the  Planning  and  Data  Analytics
            department.

            Diversity and Inclusion includes a funding change for one position, moving it from the General Fund to Grants.


            Economic Development includes the addition of one position for the PID Administration, moving one position
            from the General Fund to Grants, moving a Grant-funded position to the General Fund, the addition of one
            position and the reduction of two APs as a result of adjusting several positions and their funding sources in order
            to  address  capacity  issues,  proactively  develop  economic  development  leads,  and  continue  progressing  on
            revitalization efforts. General Operations and Maintenance increased by $7.8M due to economic development
            program agreement incentives.


            Financial Management Services includes a reduction of one position and the transfer of the PID Administrator to
            Economic  Development  department.  The  department  increased  two  APs  that  transferred  from  the  Water
            department. One position s being funded by a transfer from the Water and Sewer Fund.

            Fire Department includes an increase of one position for payroll support and 10 APs for Firefighter positions. The
            10 APs have no budgetary impact.  The FY2022 AP/FTE count excludes 24 Fire Trainees due to the trainees not
            being accounted for in counts starting in 2020.

            Human Resources includes the addition of one position for Time and Labor support. This position will work to
            decrease payroll errors that slow down work efficiency.

            IT Solutions Department includes the reduction of one position that was transferred to Development Services.

            Library continued with a department-wide organization that began in FY2020. In 2021, Library reclassified
            positions to a higher grade. The FY2022 adopted budget includes a reduction of nine positions in order to
            compensate for the reclass of these positions, the transfer of one position to Planning and Data Analytics for
            public art support and one position was moved from the Library Automation Fund to the General Fund.
