Title
A substitute ordinance relating to the uniformity of compensation and salary change procedures for employees of the redevelopment authority of the city of Milwaukee.
Sections
350-102 am
350-104 am
350-114 am
Analysis
Pursuant to state statute, the redevelopment authority of the city of Milwaukee is a sui juris entity of the city which has the authority to employ its own personnel. Therefore, the redevelopment authority is not compelled to hire personnel under civil service.
As provided in s. 66.1333(15), Wis. Stats., the common council has the authority to modify the redevelopment authority’s budget provided the city establishes a specific procedure to do so.
This ordinance aligns the classification and compensation of redevelopment authority employees with employees of other departments of the city. Similar to City employees, employees of the redevelopment authority of the city of Milwaukee will also not be able to receive additional compensation.
This ordinance also requires the department of employee relations to study all positions in the redevelopment authority of the city of Milwaukee and recommend the appropriate classification and compensation levels by September 30, 2015.
