Scenario: New Positions

Where do 7 new FTEs go?

$50K initial + $1.5M recurring = ~7 positions at $216K all-in per FTE

Allocated: 0 of 7 positions — $0 of $1.5M

Context

1 : 154 One city employee for every 154 residents. Staffing has been flat at ~669 while demand grew 26% over 4 years.

Overtime vs. Full-Time
Adding a position eliminates OT (1.5x hourly) but locks in a pension obligation (~30% of salary, perpetual). At $216K all-in cost, roughly $65K per position is pension + OPEB.

Frozen Positions
Information Security Manager (IT) and Apprentice Program Fire Captain (Fire) — budgeted but unfilled. Not eliminated, not funded.

Overtime Equivalent
