Council Member Julie Won seeks clarification on whether MOCS is still subject to the two-to-one hiring rule and if they need OMB approval to fill vacant positions. Lisa Flores provides a somewhat indirect response, emphasizing their partnership with OMB in the hiring process.

  • Flores avoids directly confirming or denying the two-to-one rule application
  • Emphasizes working with OMB to move Personnel Action Requests (PARs) along quickly
  • Won interprets the response as an affirmative to both the hiring rule and OMB approval requirement

As I said, we're working with OMB where appropriate to move those PARs along as quickly as possible.

So I take that as yes, you are subject to the two to one hiring, and you have to get approval from OMB to fill the vacancy.

As as you know, Terwon, the the hiring process is is quite complex, and so we we have a great partnership with, director Jihao and his staff in ensuring that we're advocating for our needs and moving those as quickly as possible.
