to implement detailed training before next year’s installation to prevent future instances.

to the board for approval.HR is outsourcingFLMA implementation to a company that is currently a benefit carrier for the city.The council approved a budget transfer for the purchase of
“Neogov.” Neogov is an online applicate tracking system that only publishes government jobs. It is a much faster, cleaner, and user-friendly site. Hannah hopes that this will assist
