Because of the thriving economy, as well as a large Measure BB Street <br />Rehabilitation grant, the workload for the department has increased significantly. To allow the <br />timely and efficient completion of the grant funded street rehabilitation projects, additional staff <br />consisting of a 2-year position has been authorized, but is yet to be filled. In 2017 and 2018, <br />respectively, the City worked to recruit a 2-year contract engineer to help with the workload; <br />however, on both occasions, staff was unable to find experienced and suitable candidates. Staff <br />is currently working on a third recruitment, which will be kept open until filled or the projects <br />completed. <br />Analysis <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/9/2019 <br />310
