Council hears staff on police recruitment, resignation data and code compliance vacancies
Summary
Council pressed HR on police recruitment and resignation sentiments; staff referenced HR-provided data and a prior presentation by Chief Minter. HR reported two specific vacancies in code compliance (Administrative Assistant and Revenue Investigator) while all Code Compliance Officer positions are filled.
Council asked about recruitment efforts and the sentiments of employees who resign from the Savannah Police Department during the Nov. 15 budget work session. Human Resource Director Jeff Grant and the HR manager referenced email information provided to council on Nov. 15, 2019 and earlier material presented to council on Aug. 1, 2019 by Chief Minter.
Staff did not present a new recruitment policy at the session but recorded questions and noted ongoing recruitment activities. The HR manager reported that there are two current vacancies in Code Compliance (an Administrative Assistant and a Revenue Investigator) and that all Code Compliance Officer positions are currently occupied.
Council asked for follow-up information to better understand turnover drivers and recruitment strategies; staff logged these follow-up items as part of the budget office parking-lot questions. No personnel actions or formal directives were approved during the workshop.
