Summary
Under Assembly Bill 2561 the city held a public hearing on recruitment and retention efforts; staff reported the Rancho Mirage Employees Association bargaining unit currently has no authorized vacancies and no hiring changes are proposed.
As required by Assembly Bill 2561, the Rancho Mirage City Council held a public hearing on June 5 to report on city vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. Kofi Ottobomb, administrative services director, presented the required information and said the city currently has one bargaining unit, the Rancho Mirage Employees Association, and that unit currently shows no vacancies in authorized positions.
Ottobomb outlined the AB 2561 requirements: agencies must present vacancy status, recruitment and retention efforts, and allow bargaining units to make presentations; additional disclosures are required if vacancies in a single bargaining unit equal or exceed 20 percent of authorized positions. The city reported none of those thresholds apply and that no hiring‑related changes are being proposed.
No public speakers addressed the item, and the council voted 5–0 to receive and file the AB 2561 staff report.
