We strive to fill them as quickly as possible when vacancies occur. <br /> Recruitment time for vacancies varies based on re-evaluation of positions, type <br /> of recruitment, number of vacancies, available candidates for positions, and other <br /> factors. If the additional burden of requesting funds from County Council is <br /> added to the recruitment process the result will be to slow the process further <br /> and increase total number of vacancies at any point in time. Additionally, staff <br /> time will be diverted from operations to attend Council meetings asking for <br /> funding for positions. <br /> In conclusion, we request that the referenced position not be de-funded and that <br /> the general practice of setting aside funds for vacant positions and requiring <br /> additional Council action for funding at time of recruitment not be instituted. <br /> Thank you for this opportunity for comment. <br /> <br />
