Council Member Julie Won inquires about MOCS' ability to fill vacancies over the last three fiscal years. Key points discussed:
- MOCS, like other agencies, has not achieved 100% staffing of budgeted positions
- The agency makes concerted efforts to prioritize and streamline hiring
- MOCS focuses on getting new hires in seats as quickly as possible
- Specific vacancy rates for each fiscal year were not provided during the exchange, but could be obtained from the CFO

Okay.
1:24:31
And if I understand, within the last three fiscal years, have we been able to fill vacancies or okay.
1:24:45
And I also have a follow-up question.
1:24:47
Well, let me have you finish that question first.
1:24:50
For personnel or for vacancies, within the last three fiscal years, have you been able to fill all the vacancies that you had budgeted for or were they under spent year to year?

Chairwoman, I think, again, we would not be unique as an agency in saying that we haven't been at 100% budgeted and actual when it comes to, our personnel.
1:25:17
But definitely, CFO Nyafar can go over those numbers again in terms of what our vacancy rates were for each fiscal year.
1:25:25
But we make concerted efforts to really shake the trees and focus across the office with our hiring managers to prioritize and streamline and, get folks in seats as soon as possible.
