Whenever new services or greater levels of service are proposed by a municipality, there are usually additional costs for staffing and for operational support. There are other times, however, where staffing changes are proposed to address operational changes or challenges that impact staff's ability to sustain approved levels of service. After assessing staff's current capacity, staff are proposing changes that support current levels of service. Business cases for the proposed staffing changes are included as attachments to this memorandum. The table below summarizes the proposed changes.
