Executive Officer Tracy Montez used the November meeting to introduce new staff across multiple units and to announce she will begin a phased retirement in January and depart in the spring.
Montez told the board the vacancy rate is hovering around 5 percent and highlighted new personnel in administrative services, anesthesia, licensing and examination, dental assisting, complaint compliance and investigative units. Managers introduced key staff by name and role, and staff emphasized faster processing times for permit and application workflows.
Montez thanked staff for their contributions and noted the incoming leadership plan: Assistant Executive Officer Christy Bell is expected to take a visible role at future meetings as Montez reduces her on‑site presence.
