Merit Appeals Board <br />April 27, 2023 <br />basically, sharing how recruitment is a huge issue everywhere you go. You see restaurants <br />closing early and things like that. <br />But our flight was delayed an hour -and -a -half because there was a plane there but no crew. The <br />backup crew was already being used. And so, we had to sit there and wait for a backup crew to <br />be, kind of, put together to—which was a first to me. But it's just an indication of we're still in <br />this challenging time of recruiting. <br />And so, we're doing our best to get out there in the community and share what the County has to <br />offer, especially when it comes to non -salary benefits. And so <br />MS. DE SOTO: Thank you for sharing. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. <br />MS. DE SOTO: It think it's really exciting to see that there is some initial—but it seems to be <br />effective, `cause that's rewarding—especially when your short -staff is already doing so much <br />hard work to be out there, especially on the weekends and after hours. <br />So, I hope that you guys are getting a chance to celebrate that effectiveness, especially `cause we <br />want to retain the awesome people that you have, right. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. So, we are celebrating all our little milestones. But I think <br />intrinsically the staff sees it with their own eyes the increase in interests, so it's motivating <br />them to want to do more. And they're more excited to share the news about the County. So, <br />that's very helpful. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Charlie. <br />MR. KUNZ: Waylen, kudos to you and your staff—you guys looking at the timing in <br />accomplishing a lot of the goals and the resolution of things. I'm pretty impressed knowing that <br />you have a lot of stuff going on. Can you guys apply the same resolution to wastewater <br />management and planning—okay. <br />So, on—stemming from Kate's comments, so are you able to eyeball and tell us this quarter <br />versus the last quarter, at least, the percent of increase in applications? I wasn't able to find it, <br />like, if there was a difference. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: I can get you all that information. <br />MR. KUNZ: Okay. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: And we can send it to you for sure. <br />Page 10 <br />
