This dataset includes recommended positions and salaries for 2016 by title (without names) and salary. The dataset is excerpted from the 2016 Budget Recommendations, which is the line-item budget proposed by the Mayor to the City Council for approval.

If a Position Control is 1, then employees and vacancies are displayed; if a Position Control is 0, then the total number of hours/months recorded is displayed. Owner: Budget and Management. Frequency: Data are updated annually. For more information about the budget process, visit the Budget Documents page: http://j.mp/lPotWf.
