Committee recommends board hold AB2561 public hearing on vacancies, recruitment and retention
Summary
The FRMC reviewed staff’s AB2561 update showing 28 recruitments in FY25–26 (three active, four not yet posted) and an improvement in attrition to about 3%. The committee voted to recommend the board hold the statutorily required AB2561 hearing and accepted staff’s recommendation to propose no policy changes at this time.
Timothy Manglemont, senior director of finance, briefed the committee on AB2561 reporting requirements associated with budget adoption and presented San Diego Community Power’s recruitment and retention status. "Of the 28 positions the agency recruited for in fiscal year 2025–2026, three are currently in active recruitment and four have not yet been posted," Manglemont said, adding that attrition has dropped to about 3% from roughly 9% in fiscal 2024 and that most recent separations reflected natural attrition.
Staff told the committee it would not recommend any policy or procedural changes tied to AB2561 at this time because hiring and retention metrics had improved. The presentation summarized the positions under recruitment and the agency’s competitive compensation package and mission alignment as factors supporting retention.
Motion and vote: A committee member moved and another seconded a recommendation that the board hold the AB2561 public hearing, receive comments, and accept the AB2561 status report; the motion carried (the transcript records "motion carries" but detailed roll-call tallies were not specified in the record).
Why it matters: AB2561 requires agencies to provide a public hearing when adopting a budget; this report gives the board and public a snapshot of workforce capacity, ongoing recruitments and retention efforts that bear on service delivery and budget assumptions.
Next steps: The committee’s recommendation will be forwarded to the full board for a public hearing on AB2561 during the budget-adoption process.
