Personnel Committee 3-10-2026

The City of Green Bay Personnel Committee met on March 10, 2026, to discuss amendments to the city personnel policy and a new benefits partnership. The committee considered expanding the authorization for offering moving expenses beyond department head candidates to include hard-to-fill positions such as those in the utilities and parks departments, with a proposed payback requirement if employees leave within 18 months. A motion was passed to have staff develop a tiered moving expense policy based on distance from Green Bay. Additionally, the committee approved entering into a benefits partnership with USI Insurance Services, anticipating significant cost savings of $500,000 to $800,000 in 2027 and improved employee experience through enhanced benefits support. Both motions passed unanimously, reflecting a focus on recruitment incentives and cost-effective employee benefits management.
