Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Direction to Chief Executive Officer About Hiring Practices (Sponsor: Supervisor Williams)
End
Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Direct Chief Executive Officer to produce monthly hiring reports, document the necessity of every open position and prior to upcoming budget decisions, provide a realistic projection of which positions will actually be filled in the coming fiscal year.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
None.
Summary of Request:
With fixed revenue, head count directly competes with the ability to boost wages to parity. Low wages impact morale and our County’s ability to retain talent. In order to address wages and prevent a revolving door, a balance must be found in constraining staff size while continuing to meet state mandates and avoid understaffing and overworking departments. Our priority must be to increase wages over increasing head count, ideally starting at the bottom tier. Documenting the essential basis for open positions will help to illustrate a projection of true personnel expenses and the expected trend. This is critical data for upcoming budget decisions.
Alternative Action/Motion:
No Action.
