City to hire HR Specialist

A new position will soon be listed for the City of Madison.  Madison City Commissioners on Monday approved an amendment to the city’s employee salary resolution to include a Human Resources Specialist position.  City Human Resource Director Kristin Olson told commissioners that the position had initially been approved as a Human Resource Assistant, but after further discussion of the duties of the position, it was changed to a Specialist.  

City Administrator Jameson Berreth said that the city is looking to move forward with advertising and hiring this Human Resources position as soon as possible.  

Also on Monday, commissioners discussed the current situation involving COVID-19 cases within City of Madison employees.  Olson said there has been an increase in the number of employees identified as close contacts.  She said that the city continues to monitor it and take the appropriate safety measures.
