Merced City personnel board hears May staffing report: 9 recruitments closed, 8 hires, 4 separations
Summary
At its June 8 meeting the Merced City Personnel Board heard a May staffing report from HR staffer Christopher: nine recruitments closed, eight new hires (five full-time, three temporary), four separations, and a total workforce of 591 employees (509 full-time, 82 temporary). The board approved the report.
Merced City — The Merced City Personnel Board on June 8 received its May staffing report, with HR staffer Christopher saying the city closed nine recruitments, recorded eight new hires and four separations, and employed 591 people overall.
"We have 591 total employees, 509 being full-time employees, and 82 being temporary employees," Christopher told the board as he summarized recruitments and hires. He listed closed recruitments as account clerk I/II, assistant planner, associate planner, dispatcher I, refuse equipment operator, senior accountant, software analyst, tree trimmer and wastewater treatment plant operator.
Christopher said five full-time hires were added in May (two administrative assistants, two custodians and one park worker) and three temporary employees (a temporary safety coordinator, a temporary pool manager and a temporary recreation leader). Separations included one probationary release (a refuse operator), two resignations (a fire engineer and an IT systems technician), and one termination (a sewer storm drain worker).
The staffing figures were presented as part of the board's regular monthly business. After the presentation, a board member moved to accept the report; another seconded and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Why it matters: staffing levels and recruitment outcomes affect city operations across departments, including public safety, utilities and parks. Christopher noted that recruitments and the composition of temporary versus full-time staff are monitored by HR and departments as part of workforce planning.
The meeting record shows the board approved the consent calendar earlier in the session and accepted the monthly staffing report before adjourning later in the meeting.
