Relocation incentives for hard-to-fill city jobs
Summary
Green Bay struggles to fill specialized roles — a parks mechanic has sat open 14 months — and the HR Director wants authority to offer up to $10,000 in moving expenses beyond just department heads. The committee likes the idea but wants reimbursement scaled by distance, so it went back to staff for rework.

Impact analysis
Capped at $10,000 per candidate and expected to be used sparingly, so the direct cost is small — though vacancy savings could dwarf it.
Hard-to-fill departments like parks, public works utilities, and police gain a tool to attract out-of-town candidates.
