Free sample: decision 1 of 4
DHS front-desk receptionist hiring exemption
Director Torres (DHS) requested a hiring exemption to fill a vacated front-desk receptionist position at the CSS building, citing rising customer wait times (6 min 14 sec in September) and anticipated HR1 recertification requirements in 2027 affecting ~18,000 Medicaid adults. Position is funded within Fund 204 on an 80-20 split. Board members expressed support (no formal vote taken); Commissioner McPheeters urged caution about the 20% general-fund implications, which staff clarified is minimal.
