Position Fill Request
Justification Report
August 18, 2025
Position Title: Custodian (I)
1. If this position is a replacement position, please indicate the reasons for the vacancy.
If this is not a replacement position, please indicate the reasons for requesting the
position.
X Replacement Position Not a Replacement Position
This position is vacant as a result of the resignation of Mark Gallenberger effective
08/15/2025.
2. Is this position included in the current budget? If not, please list how this position
will be funded (grant, internship, etc.). Please list the salary range of the position.
Yes, this position is included in the budget. The current wage range is $21.78 - $24.19
per hour (Pay Grade C).
3. Please list the functions and any special information regarding this position.
The Custodian I position works under general direction, performs work of moderate
difficulty in custodial care and maintenance of the City Hall Facility.
4. Does the position generate revenue or reduce expenses? If so, provide an estimated
amount.
No, this position does not generate revenue.
5. Please explain why current staff is unable to absorb duties of this position.
Staff are responsible for the maintaining of the City Hall Facility ensuring that all offices,
common areas, and meetings rooms as well as the surrounding grounds are maintained in
a clean and safe manner.
6. If duties of position are presently being done, how are they done?
When vacancies occur in this classification, we are unable to meet all of the maintenance
needs of City Hall, as well as upkeep of the facility. As positions become vacant, we
prioritize and reprioritize our daily work. The effect is that many of the services that we
provide to the public and City Staff are being performed less frequently.
7. What service would be reduced or eliminated if this position is not filled?
The overall service would be reduced. We have tried to lessen the obvious impact by
reprioritization.
8. What are the alternative methods and costs of accomplishing the work?
Contracting for various maintenance services would need to be explored. Costs would be
dependent on the service contracted. The Custodian I performs a wide range of services
during a calendar year, therefore making it difficult to replace a single position by
contracting.
9. Are there union issues?
No.
10. Other supporting comments.
Custodial Staff have endured increased sanitization priorities and requirements. This
position also ensures that we have a staff member present in City Hall during the evenings
to ensure facility is maintained and secured for evening meetings. Whenever any custodial
are absent, it becomes a strain on our current staff. During the current gap, we have had to
pull additional staff from the Parks Maintenance Division to assist with the locking of the
building and the custodial duties in addition to their regular maintenance duties in the
evening. In addition we will be in a overtime status for additional staff members.

monthly parking stall rentals amounting to approximately $3,000,000 per year in City
revenue.
5. Please explain why current staff is unable to absorb duties of this position.

minutes.
6. If duties of position are presently being done, how are they done?

9. Are there union issues?
No.

Justification Report
August 26, 2025
Position Title: Laborer – DPW Operations Division/Street Section
1. If this position is a replacement position, please indicate the reasons for the vacancy.
If this is not a replacement position, please indicate the reasons for requesting the
position.
_ _X___ Replacement Position Not a Replacement Position
This vacancy is the result of the retirement of Paul Mleziva effective at the end of the regular
workday on September 16, 2025.
2. Is this position included in the current budget? If not, please list how this position
will be funded (grant, internship, etc.). Please list the salary range of the position.
Yes, this position is currently funded in the DPW operating budget. The current wage range
for a Laborer is $26.07/hour to $29.79/hour (Pay Grade F).
3. Please list the functions and any special information regarding this position.
Laborers perform a full range of duties including (but not limited to) operating commercial
vehicles, light vehicles, power equipment, and hand tools. They are assigned to snow
removal, leaf collection, grass cutting, guard rail repair, roadway repair, traffic control, and
other assignments necessary to complete DPW core functions.
4. Does the position generate revenue or reduce expenses? If so, provide an estimated
amount.
This position does not generate revenue for the City. Conversely, DPW’s in-house labor
and equipment reduces expenses associated with contracting out for those services and
maintains institutional knowledge necessary to operate at higher efficiency.
5. Please explain why current staff is unable to absorb duties of this position.
Loss of a Laborer will reduce DPW’s ability to provide Street Section services in a timely
manner, including snow/ice removal, leaf collection, and grass/weed cutting.
6. If duties of position are presently being done, how are they done?
During periods of short staffing, duties normally performed by vacant positions are not
completed. They are assigned to others by order of priority. If there is not adequate time
to complete all jobs, then lower priority jobs are postponed or not completed.
7. What service would be reduced or eliminated if this position is not filled?
DPW will always perform its core services due to safety-critical and customer service
responsibilities of its business. However, a reduction in staffing will result in a lower level of
service for residents.
8. What are the alternative methods and costs of accomplishing the work?
DPW must comply with State and local laws, ordinances, polices, and rules for care of public
infrastructure. The frequency of certain activities cannot be reduced. Loss of Laborers
affects the volume of work that can be completed on regular time. One alternative would
be working overtime to maintain required services. Another alternative is outsourcing
1 of 2
services. However, both of those alternatives are more costly than merely filling the
vacancy.
9. Are there union issues?
No

Position Title: Conservation Corps Field Assistant
1. If this position is a replacement position, please indicate the reasons for the
vacancy. If this is not a replacement position, please indicate the reasons for
requesting the position.
X Replacement Position Not a Replacement Position
This position is vacant following the resignation of Andrew Gilsdorf, effective at the end of
the work day on September 12, 2025.
2. Is this position included in the current budget? If not, please list how this position
will be funded (grant, internship, etc.). Please list the salary range of the position.
Yes, the Conservation Corps Field Assistant position is currently funded in full in the 2025
budget. The current wage range for this position is $26.07/hour to $29.79/hour (Pay Grade
F).
3. Please list the functions and any special information regarding this position.
This position is responsible for supervising and training all AmeriCorps members serving
in the Conservation Corps program. The Conservation Corps Field Assistant is also
responsible for tracking progress and assisting in the planning of future restoration
projects.
4. Does the position generate revenue or reduce expenses? If so, provide an
estimated amount.
No, this position does not generate revenue.
5. Please explain why current staff is unable to absorb duties of this position.
There are currently only two full time City staff members responsible for running and
managing the entire Conservation Corps program. The Conservation Corps Coordinator’s
duties include, but are not limited to grant reporting, grant management, project
coordination, public outreach and volunteer coordination. The Conservation Corps Field
Assistant is primarily responsible for training and supervision of the crews in the field. The
Conservation Corps consists of 15 – 30 crew members at any given time. With the Field
Assistant leaving, the Conservation Corps Coordinator will have to focus the vast majority
of her time to training and supervising the crews. Most of her other duties will not get
done until this position is filled.
6. If duties of position are presently being done, how are they done?
On a temporary basis, the Conservation Corps Coordinator will take on the responsibilities
of supervising the crews. This is not sustainable for a long period of time as the grant
management requirements are extensive.
7. What service would be reduced or eliminated if this position is not filled?
If this position is eliminated, the City of Green Bay will not be able to fulfill its grant
requirements for the AmeriCorps grant.
8. What are the alternative methods and costs of accomplishing the work?
There are not alternative methods unless the Conservation Corps crews were to be
significantly reduced/eliminated. This would put the City out of compliance for the
AmeriCorps grant.
9. Are there union issues?
No.

II. There are currently ten (10) Parking Maintenance Technicians in the Parking Division Table
of Organization. Parking Maintenance Technicians perform all core facility maintenance
functions including maintenance and repairs of parking access and revenue control system
(PARCS) equipment, maintenance and cleaning of Parking division buildings, ramps, lots,
and storage facilities, collection of revenue from parking meters and pay stations, snow and
ice control, pavement marking and signing in parking facilities, security and traffic control
of lots and ramps, and assisting parking patrons as needed. All Parking Maintenance
Technicians function under direct supervision of the Parking Division Superintendent.
Through the early 2000’s, Parking Division maintained a Parking Maintenance Supervisor.
This position directly managed Parking Division field staff, so the Parking Supervisor could
manage budget, policy, procedure and administrative duties with the Traffic Engineer, who
served as Parking Manager at that time. With DPW organizational changes and PARCS
technology advances, the Maintenance Supervisor position was eliminated, and morphed
into the current Parking Superintendent position.
With the elimination of a Parking Maintenance Supervisor, an individual on each shift
assumed the role of making group work function decisions to keep work activity going when
the Parking Superintendent was not at work and/or available. This individual also carried a
cellular phone while on shift.
Over the past twenty years, PARCS equipment technology and parking management activity
has advanced and changed. Because of those changes, the Parking Superintendent
regularly needs assistance with planning, organizing, assigning, and overseeing parking
facility maintenance functions. By reclassifying one (1) Parking Maintenance Technician to a
Parking Maintenance Foreperson, the Parking Superintendent will be able to focus more on
project planning, policy development and enforcement, and administrative tasks. The
proposed Parking Maintenance Foreperson would report directly to the Parking
Superintendent and be tasked with the following responsibilities:
• Assign and track duties of field employees
• Research and solve issues that occur
• Track and document work activity
• Investigate complaints and interact with customers to resolve them
• Perform the functions of a Parking Maintenance Technician
Redistributing these duties will allow for improved time management and efficiency of the
division. In addition, during periods when the Parking Superintendent is away, current
Parking maintenance staff do not have an individual on-site that can make management
decisions. A Parking Maintenance Foreperson would be able to coordinate and lead
fieldwork functions with minimal interaction from the Parking Superintendent or Parking
Manager.
FISCAL IMPACT
III. Currently the Parking Maintenance Technician position is included in the City’s pay plan in
Pay Grade F with a wage range of $26.07 to $29.79 per hour. The City’s consultant,
Cottingham & Butler, has reviewed the job description for the Parking Maintenance
Foreperson and advised placement in Pay Grade G, which has a current wage range of
$28.04 - $32.98 per hour. The Parking Division plans to fill the newly created Parking
Maintenance Foreperson through internal promotion, and filling the subsequent vacant
Parking Maintenance Technician position. The projected fiscal impact of reclassifying one
(1) Parking Maintenance Technician position to a Parking Maintenance Foreperson would be
$10,637. (See attached worksheet for detail). The anticipated funding source for this
position is the DPW-Parking Division (202505) operating budget fund.

FROM: Dan Ditscheit, Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Director
RE: Request to reclassify one (1) vacant Civil Engineer II position to a Senior Landscape Architect
position and a request to fill any subsequent vacancies resulting from internal transfers.
RECOMMENDATION:
I. To keep staffing at current levels while also meeting the changing needs of the Parks
Department, it is recommended that one (1) full-time Civil Engineer II be reclassified to one (1)
full-time Sr. Landscape Architect.
BACKGROUND
II. The Park Design & Development Division currently consists of 2 employees, a Park Planner
(Landscape Architect) and a Civil Engineer II. Following the resignation of the previous Park
Planner, the Civil Engineer II was promoted to the vacant Park Planner position. To maintain a
balance of skillsets within the division, the Parks Department and Human Resources is
recommending reclassifying the Civil Engineer II position to a Senior Landscape Architect
position. With this proposed change, the Park Planner would assume responsibility for civil
engineering duties in addition to existing Park Planner responsibilities.
In 2007 the Park Design & Development Division downsized from 3 full-time positions with
landscape architecture backgrounds (1 Park Planner and 2 Senior Landscape Architects) to 2
full-time positions (1 Park Planner and 1 Sr. Landscape Architect). After this change was made
the project load did not decrease, but instead the workload increased for the two remaining
division employees. In 2018 the Senior Landscape Architect position was reclassified to a Civil
Engineer II position. It has been the observation of the Parks Department that the division
arrangement of having one (1) Civil Engineer and one (1) Landscape Architect on staff has been
working extremely well. Both positions require very specific skillsets necessary for continued
park development.
If approved, the new Senior Landscape Architect position will take on all duties as it relates to
landscape design, planting plans, playground designs, park master planning, construction
supervision, and project management for smaller Park projects. The Park Planner will now be
taking on civil engineering duties in addition to the existing Park Planner duties such as project
management for larger projects, project budgeting, Capital Improvement Plan preparation,
grant management, property acquisitions, and coordination with various park user groups.
It should also be noted that currently both Park Design & Development Division positions spend
about 25% of their time with design work as it relates to civil engineering or landscape
architecture. This will make for an easy transition for the new Park Planner to take on all
duties of the role along with the additional civil engineering duties if there was a Senior
Landscape Architect on staff to absorb the landscape architecture work.
FISCAL IMPACT
III. Currently the Civil Engineer II position is included in the City’s pay plan in Pay Grade K with a
salary range of $80,933 to $95,222 annually. The City’s consultant, Cottingham & Butler, has
reviewed the job description for the Senior Landscape Architect and advised placement in Pay
Grade K, thus resulting in a neutral fiscal impact for reclassifying the position.

Re: Mayor Salary Ordinance
Date: September 9, 2025
The purpose of this memorandum is to present General Ordinance No. 18-25 to the Personnel Committee
for review and recommendation to the Common Council. This ordinance amends Section 2-83 of the Green
Bay Municipal Code relating to the Mayor’s salary and revises the salary schedule previously approved by
the Personnel Committee on June 17, 2025, and by the Common Council on June 24, 2025.
Summary of Ordinance
The ordinance sets a revised future salary schedule for the Mayor of the City of Green Bay, effective at the
start of the future mayoral term:
• April 2027 term start: $128,547.
• After the 2027-2031 term, the above amount will be adjusted by a percentage equal to the combined
four (4) annual percentage changes calculated for City employees in the previous four (4) years
and shall be effective each year of the start of the mayoral term.
Per state law and city code, salaries for the Mayor cannot be changed during a current term of office; these
adjustments apply only at the start of the specified future terms.
Background
The salary schedule above differs from the schedule approved at the June 17, 2025 Personnel Committee

official salary schedules cannot include an automatic adjustment (including the upwards and downwards
fluctuation in the cost of living).

MEMORANDUM
To: Personnel Committee
From: Brian Rollefson, Human Resources Director
Re: Removal of Committee & Council Approval Requirement for Replacement Positions & Internal
Transfers
Date: September 9, 2025
Background
At the August 10, 2025, Personnel Committee meeting, staff recommended eliminating the requirement to seek
approval for:
• Replacing existing, budgeted positions when a vacancy occurs.
• Internal transfers between positions that do not change classification, FTE status, or pay grade.
Of the 13 municipalities surveyed, only one (Superior) maintains such a requirement. While the Personnel
Committee initially referred the item back to staff, it was pulled for discussion at the Common Council meeting
on August 19, 2025. The Council ultimately referred it back to staff for further review.
Proposed Options
While staff continues to recommend removal of the approval requirement, the following options are available for
consideration:
1. Approve removal of the requirement as originally recommended at the August 12, 2025 Personnel
Committee and August 19, 2025 Common Council meetings.
2. Implement a notification process in which Human Resources emails Personnel Committee members
each Wednesday with details of vacant positions or qualifying transfers (job title and department).
Committee members would have until 11:00am Friday to request discussion at the next Personnel
Committee meeting. If no request is made, the action proceeds as approved.
3. Maintain the current process requiring committee and council approval.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Option 1: eliminate the requirement for committee and council approval of budgeted
replacement positions and qualifying internal transfers, effective immediately. This allows department heads to
manage their budgets and staffing levels as already approved by Council. Staff further recommends updating
Chapter 6 – Recruitment and Selection Policy to reflect this process change (see attached).

Accordingly, the City assures the following:
a. The City will not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or
employment practices.
b. The City will not ask a job applicant about the existence, nature or severity
of a disability. Applicants may be asked about their ability to perform
essential job functions. Medical examination or inquiries may be made, but
only after a conditional offer of employment is made and only if required
of all applicants for the position.
c. The City will make reasonable accommodation for the known physical or
cognitive limitations of a qualified applicant or employee with a disability
upon request unless the accommodation would cause an undue hardship
for the operation of the City’s business. If an applicant or an employee
requests a reasonable accommodation and the individual’s disability and
need for the accommodation are not readily apparent or otherwise
known, the City may ask the individual for information necessary to
Recruitment and Selection 6-5 City of Green Bay Personnel Policies

determine if the individual has a disability-related need for the
accommodation.
d. The City will maintain employees’ medical records separate from
personnel files and keep them confidential.
e. The City will make an individualized assessment of whether a qualified
individual with a disability meets selection criteria for employment
decisions. To the extent the City’s selection criteria have the effect of

related and consistent with business necessity.
6.11 TRANSFER. The City encourages and recognizes the value of providing opportunities for
transfer from within and to improve the upward mobility potential for qualified City of
Green Bay employees. Reasonable efforts will be made to fill vacant positions from within
the City. Job announcements will be posted in areas that are accessible to all employees.
At the discretion of the City, outside recruiting sources will be used and internal
candidates may be considered simultaneously with outside candidates. This policy is
intended to provide equal opportunity to all employees and job applicants.
6.11.1 Regular full and part-time employees who are in good standing will be allowed to
seek a transfer.
6.11.2 Regular position vacancies will be posted City-wide for a minimum of 5 work days.
Eligible employees will be required to submit required application materials to
Human Resources by the date noted on the job announcement to be considered
for the position. As noted previously, the selection process will be utilized to hire
the best qualified individual for the position.
6.11.3 Transferring employees will retain their vacation and sick leave. A probationary
employee, who successfully attains a transfer, will serve out the balance of the
probationary period upon transfer to the new position.
6.12 TESTING POLICY.
6.12.1 Provisions. Human Resources is responsible for administering all employment
testing. If it is determined that an employee is qualified for the position and a test
is required, the employee will be tested. If a passing score is not achieved, the
candidate will not be given further consideration for the position. Re-testing will
be permitted every 90 days for employees with unsuccessful typing or data entry
scores. Typing, data entry and other test scores will remain valid for a period of 5
years.
Other examples of tests administered for purposes of transfer may include money
counting, calculator skills, oral directions, data entry, basic math or other general
job skill testing.
6.12.2 Requirements. Minimum requirements are established by Human Resources
according to class specifications. A candidate may be required to demonstrate
minimum competency by successfully passing approved tests, background checks
and medical exams when required.
