MOTION-- The Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) employs a combination of civil service, hiring hall, and as-needed staff, along with contractors, to complete its work programs. Due to attrition and vacancies in civil service positions, StreetsLA is employing additional hiring hall staff and as-needed staff to supplement its existing workforce while permanent civil service positions are being filled. Hiring Hall staff supplements StreetsLA crews working on a variety of projects including Complete Streets, Vision Zero concrete work, and the Sidewalk Repair Program. Hiring Hall staff also assist on Metro and grant-funded projects. StreetsLA requests that funds be moved to its Hiring Hall salaries and benefits accounts to cover an increase in hiring hall payroll expenditures.
Additionally, StreetsLA will be hiring As-Needed Truck Operators to meet operational demands until a Civil Service list is established and vacancies can be filled. StreetsLA requests that funds be moved to its As-Needed Salaries account to cover these expenditures.
