Issue: Slots currently remain vacant due to hiring freeze. These funds are funded through Road & Bridge funds and will not have an impact on the general fund.
Solution: Approve the filling of the vacant slots to meet the labor demands currently being faced at the Utilities department.
Result: The filling of these positions will alleviate work overload created by vacancies and allows for efficiency, effectiveness and production of work within the department, and to better serve the needs of our customers-the residents of Rio Bravo and El Cenizo.
