Votes at a glance: agenda, consent items and AB 2561 transparency policy approved
Summary
At its June 3 meeting the Brawley City Council approved the evening’s agenda (with one item pulled), adopted a workforce vacancies transparency policy tied to AB 2561, and approved the consent agenda; motions passed with aye votes recorded in the meeting.
The Brawley City Council took three recorded actions at its June 3 meeting: it approved the agenda after pulling item 6A, approved the consent agenda, and approved a city policy to comply with state transparency requirements under AB 2561.
Council moved to approve the agenda with item 6A removed and voted to convene to closed session. The motion to approve the consent agenda was moved and seconded and the council voted in favor.
On item 6B, Shirley Bonillas, human resources administrator, presented draft City Council Policy No. 153665, which implements state law AB 2561’s requirement that public agencies report workforce vacancies, recruitment and retention statistics and hold a public hearing. Bonillas said preliminary numbers show no bargaining unit with a vacancy rate of 20% or higher at this time and that the city will present detailed statistics and invite bargaining units to comment at a public hearing scheduled for the June 17 meeting prior to budget adoption. The council voted to approve the policy so the public hearing can be scheduled.
Votes recorded in the meeting were entered by voice as “aye” for the motions; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally of individual yes/no votes for each item.
