Norco receives and files annual vacancies and recruitment report required by AB 2561
Summary
Council received and filed the city's annual report on vacancies and recruitment under Assembly Bill 2561, noting 87 authorized FTEs and 15 current vacancies (about a 21% overall vacancy rate) and that management is monitoring union thresholds and recruitment steps.
The council received and filed the city's required annual report under Assembly Bill 2561 on vacancies and recruitment-and-retention efforts.
Joshua, the finance director, presented the annual report and said the city is authorized for 87 full-time-equivalent positions and currently has 15 vacancies, representing about a 21% overall vacancy rate as of the May reporting date. He explained that vacancy-tracking is done for reasons of separation, position-control updates, and to identify recruitment obstacles; when a represented bargaining group's vacancies exceed 20% that group may request additional presentation rights at the hearing. Joshua said NGEA currently sits at about 19% (six vacancies among 32 positions) and UWUA has one vacancy among 20 positions.
Councilmembers asked for clarification that the hearing is a statement of fact and that budget/workshop settings are where hiring decisions are made; staff confirmed that this report is annual and that recruitment and retention efforts (NEOGOV postings, targeted advertising, compensation studies, and onboarding processes) continue. The council voted to receive and file the report.
