STA holds annual AB 2561 hearing; staff reports 25% vacancy rate and use of consultants
Summary
At the AB 2561 public hearing, STA staff reported a 25% vacancy rate, said four full‑time positions are authorized with one vacancy, and explained the authority is using consultants and delaying recruitment to align with workload and budget; staff reported no fiscal impact and received no public comment.
Staff opened the annual public hearing under Assembly Bill 2561 to update the public on vacancies, recruitment and retention. Staff reported a 25% vacancy rate for the Authority and said there are four full‑time positions authorized with one vacancy at present. "Vacancy rate today is 25%. Four full‑time positions authorized with one vacancy," the presenter told the board.
Staff explained the agency operates "in a very lean fashion," that recruitment is delayed as long as possible to align hires with budget and workload, and that the board had directed staff to use consultants to handle some work rather than immediately fill positions. Staff stated there is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
The hearing was opened for public input; no members of the public requested to speak and the hearing was closed. No action was required beyond receiving the report.
