During the Fiscal Year 2019-20 final budget deliberations, the Board of Supervisors directed the Chief Executive Officer to institute a hiring freeze.  Further, during the September 10, 2019, Board of Supervisor’s meeting, direction was given to the Chief Executive Officer to present an item on the next agenda regarding the status of the hiring freeze.

 

Summary of Request

During the Fiscal Year 2019-20 final budget deliberations, the Board of Supervisors directed the Chief Executive Officer to institute a hiring freeze for General Fund Departments.  Since that time, the Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with Human Resources, have implemented a process by which each request to fill a position submitted by a County department is reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer prior to any recruitment.  Since the initiation of the hiring freeze, the Chief Executive Officer has authorized the recruitment of General Fund positions that were determined to be public safety, mission critical, replacing a position vacated within the previous 12 months, and/or non-General Fund.  Staff will present an overview of the various positions filled, including those filled, unfilled as of September 11, 2019, and those not approved by the Chief Executive Officer.  This overview will also include estimated General Fund savings based upon the positions remaining vacant through the end of the Fiscal Year.
