2009 Annual Operating and Capital Budget - Village of Huntley

Village of Huntley
PERSONNEL / STAFFING SUMMARY
Introduction
The Village is a service business and approximately 70% of the operating budget is
personnel related. The Village’s philosophy for providing services to residents is to “do
more with less”. This simply means that the management of the Village is committed to
providing the highest levels of service to Village residents in the most cost efficient
manner. Ultimately, the Village organization and the level of service provided is only
going to be as good as the people providing the services, and this is why the Village
Board and management are committed to making Huntley a great place to work.
PAR Group Staffing Study
In September 2000, the Village Board of Trustees approved and accepted an
Organization and Staffing Study Report for the entire Village organization. The Village
has attempted to follow the PAR “roadmap” over the course of the last nine (9) years.
As the table below shows, the total number of full time positions based on the PAR
Study for 2009 would be 102.5. The proposed budget is 6.5 full-time positions less than
what is recommended by the PAR report. It is interesting to note that the PAR Study
projected the Village’s population at the end of 2009 to be 23,200. The Village’s current
population estimate is 23,000.
