Council Member Williams asks about the impact of the two-for-one hiring freeze on CCHR's ability to hire new staff. Deputy Commissioner Salazar explains the effects and current hiring situation.
- The hiring freeze restricts CCHR's ability to backfill positions promptly
- CCHR continues to post jobs, interview candidates, and submit approvals to OMB
- Currently, four candidates are waiting for OMB approval
- The freeze doesn't completely impede hiring but causes delays in the process

Okay, another issue with hiring is the two for one hiring freeze and its impact on CCHR's ability to hire new staff.

So can you talk a little bit about that if it has been an impediment or you've been fine to hire.

The two for one hire fees definitely restricts our ability to backfill promptly, but we are still you know, we are still working on job postings, we are interviewing candidates, we are submitting for approval to OMB.

Currently we have four candidates that are waiting for OMB approval, so it's not that it is impeding us to to hire, it just delays.
