The hiring proposal calls for a new civil service testing location operating six days a week, online and continuous testing, and $13 million toward the effort. The residency proposal would direct the Law Department to draft an amendment giving new employees up to one year before meeting the city residency requirement, instead of the current six months. Six other items, including proposals involving employee salaries, working conditions, fertility benefits, emergency safety, and employment of people with disabilities, were tabled until April 21.
