At a required annual hearing, the City Council received the 2025 report on vacancies, recruitment and retention: Rancho Palos Verdes employs more than 120 people across two bargaining units and staff said the city has implemented successful strategies to recruit and retain long‑term employees.

City Manager Arm Aranian presented the city’s state‑required annual report documenting vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts for 2025. "According to the report, the city has implemented successful strategies to recruit and retain long-term employees to ensure effective operations," Aranian said.

Why it matters: Staffing and retention affect the city’s capacity to deliver core municipal services. The report summarized the workforce size and described recruitment and retention strategies the city says have improved long‑term staffing stability.

Details from the update indicate the city currently employs more than 120 part‑time and full‑time staff and has two bargaining units. The summary did not provide an exact staff count, vacancy rate, or specifics on the recruitment programs; those details were not specified in the update.

Next steps: The council received the report during the public hearing; no vote or specific follow‑up actions were recorded in the update. Further information on vacancy rates or program details would come from the full report or staffing documents if published by city staff.
