(Referred to the Committees on Finance and Audit and Personnel and the Departments of Administrative Services and Human Resources.)
Body
Policy
County Board approval is required to abolish and create positions within Milwaukee County.
Background
The Department of Administrative Services has identified a need for a position to oversee personnel and inspections related to the Noise Management Program (NMP) at General Mitchell International Airport.

The details of the position actions are listed below.
