Jeff Bergosh Blog: Latest on County Vacancies

Guidelines

I am one member of a five person board. The opinions I express on this forum are mine only, and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Escambia County Staff, Administrators, Employees, or anyone else associated with Escambia County Florida. I am interested in establishing this blog as a means of additional transparency to the public, outreach to the community, and information dissemination to all who choose to look. Feedback is welcome, but because public participation is equally encouraged, appropriate language and decorum is mandatory. Although this is not my campaign site for re-election--sometimes campaign related information will be discussed, therefore in an abundance of caution I add the following : Political Advertisement Paid for and Approved by Jeff Bergosh, Republican, for Escambia County Commissioner District 1

Latest on County Vacancies

HR Director Crystal Dadura sent commissioners the above chart late this week. It represents the current snapshot of where we are with staffing.

Slow incremental progress is being made in some departments when previous vacancy chart from June is compared, (e.g. corrections vacancy percentage down slightly, overall vacancies down by 37 from 500 last month, public safety openings down to 70 total from 80 last month) however we are still looking at 463 openings throughout the county as of the end of this week.

We've still got a lot of work to do-- but we are making slow, steady progress and hiring more staff.
