The representative told the board Manfredi retired on Sept. 20, 2025 after more than 20 years of service. The records unit is operating with 11 of 16 authorized positions (five vacancies) and one newly hired employee is still in training; the shortfall has created operational strain and required overtime to meet state and federal timelines for processing reports, warrants, restraining orders and public-records requests.
"Rehiring Ms. Manfredi as an extra-help records clerk under this 180-day exemption would immediately alleviate some of that pressure," the representative said, adding she is fully trained on systems and can step in while recruitment and training continue.
Supervisor Townsend moved and Supervisor Valero seconded the request; the board approved the exemption unanimously (5-0). The board accepted the short-term staffing approach to stabilize operations while continuing recruitment for permanent hires.
