Board debates interim staffing and inspector hiring; staff to check contractor reporting platform
Summary
Members debated interim coverage until the executive director is hired, including temporary staff augmentation versus hiring a second position; staff said the Department of General Services is monitoring complaints and will check whether Trey’s contractor reporting platform remains active.
Board members debated options for interim coverage while the chief position remains vacant. Some members cautioned against creating an interim post that might become permanent, while others proposed short-term staff augmentation or a contractor to handle administrative or field tasks. Speaker 2 proposed recommending that General Services find temporary support; Mike Leonard said the Department of General Services is monitoring the complaint inbox and would treat any incoming complaint as the department’s first case under the SOP.
Members also discussed hiring inspectors as a next step after the executive director is on board, noting that inspector roles require OSHA training and must be Metro employees. Mike Leonard said Trey had used an iPad-based platform for contractor reporting and outreach; board members asked staff to check whether that platform is still active and to confirm that contractors continue to use it during the transition.
