projects necessary throughout the city, and increasing spending to provide additional services to the
community.

plans, which included replacing one full-time Human Resources Analyst II with one full-time Human
Resources Analyst Senior position, adding a new full-time Human Resources Analyst Senior position,

Resources Manager position.

expansion plans.
