The purpose of this Informal Report is to update City Council on the status of the employees that
received notification that their jobs were being eliminated as part of the FY 2011 budget.
On September 21, 2010, the City Council approved the budget for FY 2011, which included the
elimination of 91 filled positions. The following day, those affected employees received reduction
in force (RIF) notifications that their positions would be eliminated effective November 5, 2010.
On September 24, 2010, Human Resources met with affected employees, and advised them of
their layoff rights, reviewed the preferential hiring process with them and encouraged them to
apply for vacant positions within the city. Vacant positions have been posted to allow employees
that received RIF notifications an opportunity to apply.
The Chart below shows the status of the 91 employees affected by the RIF
as of November 5, 2010:

91
Of the 91 employees that received RIF notifications, 47 have retained positions with the city, 1
offer was declined. The chart also shows that 22 employees did not apply for any vacant
positions. Those employees were contacted and reminded of internal positions yet declined to
apply. As of November 5, 2010, 16 of the 91 employees affected by the RIF were actively
applying to continue employment with the city.
On November 5, 2010, 38 employees that did not secure employment by their RIF date were
terminated. Human Resources will continue to work with those interested in returning to
employment with the City.
