| 7 | | Vandalia to Springfield; and
|
| 8 | | WHEREAS, The City of Springfield is home to the main |
| 9 | | offices of the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch, and |
| 10 | | the Judicial Branch of Illinois State government; and
|
| 11 | | WHEREAS, With a large reduction in the State workforce over |
| 12 | | the last several years, Springfield has suffered significant |
| 13 | | job losses; and
|
| 14 | | WHEREAS, As home to the majority of State government |
|
| | HJ0133HAM001 | - 2 - | LRB099 20367 GRL 46815 a |
|
|
| 1 | | activity, it is essential that the capital of Illinois is also |
| 2 | | home to as many State employees as possible in order to ensure |
| 3 | | that Illinois runs in an efficient and productive manner; and
|
| 4 | | WHEREAS, Advances in technology and increased connectivity |
| 5 | | throughout the State have made it easier than ever for the |
| 6 | | State workforce to be centrally located in Springfield; |
| 7 | | therefore, be it
|
| 8 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE |
| 9 | | NINETY-NINTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE |
| 10 | | SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that we urge each State agency under |
| 11 | | the direction of the Office of the Governor to prepare an |
| 12 | | agency or office workforce report; and be it further
|
| 13 | | RESOLVED, That the workforce reports should include the |
| 14 | | following information for all employees under the Personnel |
| 15 | | Code: |
| 16 | | (1) the number of employees in each county in this |
| 17 | | State; |
| 18 | | (2) the division and facility, if applicable, that each |
| 19 | | of these employees is stationed; |
| 20 | | (3) the position number, general working title, and a |
| 21 | | brief description of job duties of each of these employees; |
| 22 | | and |
| 23 | | (4) the justification as to why these positions, |
|
| | HJ0133HAM001 | - 3 - | LRB099 20367 GRL 46815 a |
|
|
| 1 | | specifically upper and middle management positions, could |
| 2 | | not be located in Springfield; and be it further
|
| 3 | | RESOLVED, That the workforce reports would not need to |
| 4 | | include detailed information relating to direct service |
| 5 | | workers, but should list the number of these positions in each |
| 6 | | title by county, division, and facility; and be it further
|
| 7 | | RESOLVED, That moving forward, as the State of Illinois |
| 8 | | begins to fill vacant positions, we urge all State agencies to |
| 9 | | consider filling any vacant position in Springfield first, as |
| 10 | | Springfield is the home of State government; and be it further
|
| 11 | | RESOLVED, That we urge all State agencies to have their |
| 12 | | workforce reports completed and submitted to the Office of the |
| 13 | | Governor and the General Assembly by August 31, 2016; and be it |
| 14 | | further
|
| 15 | | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be |
| 16 | | delivered to the Office of the Governor to direct each State |
| 17 | | agency to complete a workforce report.". |
