Restoring web and digital strategy positions in city operations
Tuscaloosa
Summary
The city is putting $238,015 back to hire a Manager of Web & Digital Strategy and a Web Developer, positions cut during budget negotiations and vacant for months. Councilors want to eventually revisit pay grades to attract talent, and there's tension over whether this leaves enough in contingency to help with health care costs.
