Approve and authorize the City Manager to implement the diminution of 82 positions including the issuance of appropriate layoff notices.

Amount:  Total $3,339,000 annual on-going savings offset by $1,805,000 one-time costs for vacation and sick leave payouts and unemployment compensation.

Total savings consists of $1,893,000 of annual savings resulting from privatization of services as detailed in Council Communications related to each contract, and $1,446,000 of annual savings resulting from other reductions in workforce.  Amounts shown above do not include savings resulting from Golf Course privatization.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

The City Manager has recommended outsourcing of custodial, mowing, sports turf maintenance, certain snow removal, and animal control services. As part of the plan to balance the FY10 budget, departments have identified several other positions to be eliminated. In addition to these positions that need Council authorization to lay off the affected employees pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 400.28, another 6 positions have been vacated by retirement or other termination of the employee. It is expected that the general layoff date will not be sooner than February 28 nor later than March 27, 2009. Some of these employees will be able to be considered for approximately 20 jobs awaiting filling in the parks and public works departments. Others may be considered for employment by those entities being awarded contracts for the outsourced services. The names, department and classification of the 82 employees to be laid off are listed below:
