Requesting information regarding the Mayor-Elect Laredo's plan to staff the Executive Department |
COUNCILOR GENTILE requesting information on Mayor-Elect Laredo's plan to staff the Executive Department. The requested information includes but is not limited to:
1) The approved FY26 Executive Department budget which runs through June 30, 2026 and has 7 FTE positions and the money necessary to support those positions. In his announcement on 11 /18/25 to the community the mayor-elect announced his Executive Office Leadership Team which identifies 9 individuals as making up the team.
2) If the mayor-elect intends to increase his staff by just under 30% in the middle of the fiscal year, will he defend why this is necessary by submitting a reorganization plan to the City Council for its review and approval?
3) What are the salaries and start dates for those additional 2 positions? Is any other current employee identified in the newsletter in line to receive a salary increase?
4) With the department budgeted for 7 FTE's in FY26 these additional 2 positions will create a shortfall in the Executive Department budget of at least $100,000 over the second half of the fiscal year. What is the plan to cover this shortfall? |
