Thousand Oaks reports 5.67% bargaining‑unit vacancy rate under AB 2561; council accepts report
Summary
Human Resources Director Janette Green told the council the city's FY 2025–26 AB 2561 report shows an overall bargaining‑unit vacancy rate of 5.67% (388 positions) and a turnover rate near 7%; the council accepted the report and there were no employee association presenters.
Human Resources Director Janette Green presented the city’s annual report under Assembly Bill 2561, which requires public agencies to disclose job vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts.
Green said the city has 388 bargaining‑unit positions and an overall vacancy rate of 5.67% for FY 2025–26. She said none of the city’s bargaining units exceeded the 20% vacancy threshold that would trigger additional reporting requirements under AB 2561. Green described the vacancy picture as a normal mix of voluntary resignations and retirements and reported a turnover rate of about 7%.
Council members thanked staff for the report and asked follow‑up questions about trends; Green said the department concluded a recent employee culture survey and is still analyzing results. The council closed the public hearing and accepted the report by a 5–0 vote.
