The Finance and Personnel Committee on the evening it met approved the City of Sheboygan’s 2026 table of organizations, formalizing a set of staffing reallocations included in the adopted budget.

The Finance Director (name not provided) described the principal changes, including an added communications specialist in the city administrator’s office and removal of a deputy city-attorney position. "The funding isn't necessarily taken away. It was just reallocated to the contracted services for this point in time," the Finance Director said, noting the city will rely on outside counsel for niche projects such as complex contract negotiations.

Other changes include moving building-maintenance and custodian staff previously assigned to the library under the facilities director; adding three police officer positions funded through an approved federal grant; and reorganizing building-inspection and planning roles. A half-time housing specialist position that previously split duties between code enforcement and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) loan administration has been converted into two full-time code-enforcement officers, with one assigned to the south side and one to the north side. Planning will have a dedicated position to manage CDBG grant and loan work.

The table of organizations also shows a reduction of one clerk in public works administration and a part-time customer-service representative for senior services funded on a trial basis by the senior-services friends group to test additional hours for uptown social programming.

A committee member moved to approve the table of organizations; the motion was seconded and recorded by the Chair as adopted.
