      The commissioner explains that the current situation creates an inability to hire new employees if someone leaves their position.

      • The department cannot fill vacant positions that become open.
      • This effectively acts as a hiring freeze, even if it is not officially termed that way.
      • Council Member Brannan acknowledges the explanation and expresses willingness to assist.
