Sierra Madre
At its regular meeting the City Council received and filed the annual report required by California Assembly Bill 2561 on workforce vacancy reporting. Staff told the council the report was prepared April 14, 2026 and that the city currently budgets 91 full-time positions and 20,080 part-time hours.
The report identified four current vacancies: one administrative analyst, one police sergeant and two police dispatchers. Staff noted recruitment is in progress for those positions and that the Sierra Madre Police Association was the only bargaining group showing active vacancies. "No bargaining group currently exceeds a 20% vacancy rate," staff said, and recommended the council receive and file the report.
Council members asked clarifying questions about part-time-hour thresholds and whether part-time positions count toward the FTE vacancy calculation; staff responded they primarily evaluate budgeted full-time positions when calculating the AB 2561 vacancy rate. There were no public comments on the item.
Outcome: Council received and filed the AB 2561 vacancy report as presented.
