Summary

An HR presenter told the board the county has experienced about a 30–36% turnover rate since October 2025 and proposed a reorganization that would reduce one managerial position and create two administrative positions focused on recruiting and administration.

An HR presenter outlined a proposal to reorganize the county's human resources department in response to significant turnover. "Over the last year and a half...we've had significant turnover across the county. We're averaging just about 30–36% turnover rate for that period of time since October 2025," the presenter said, and argued the department lacks administrative capacity to process new hires efficiently.

To address staffing gaps, the presenter proposed a reduction in force at one managerial level and creation of two administrative positions — one focused on recruiting and one on administration — to improve hiring throughput. The item was presented as a proposal to bring forward to the full board; no formal action on the reorganization was recorded at this meeting.
