I wanted to ask about, the assessors.
3:11:12
I know I think we're down assessors, and the city hasn't hired assessors in a while from what I know, at least not to keep up with retirements and attrition.
3:11:23
Is the title exempt from the 2 for 1 hiring freeze since it's revenue generating?
3:11:28
It is.
3:11:29
It is.
3:11:29
Okay.
3:11:30
How are we doing on hiring assessors?
Preston Niblack
3:11:33
Good.
3:11:33
We have, we have a 125 active assessors right now.
3:11:37
There are 33 vacancies.
3:11:38
We just learned from DCAS that they're gonna establish a new city assessor list probably next month.
3:11:45
So at that point, we will start hiring.
3:11:47
I know that deputy commissioner Shears is eager to fill those, slots.
3:11:54
So, you know, it's through a normal civil service list call process, but as soon as the list is established, we will start.
