1. Technical Staffing Shortfall — Work Has Lost Momentum Executive Officer John Demers reported that the agency’s technical section has 2.5 of its planned 5.5 staff members, one of whom is new. Three agency staff members departed this year. Engineer Brandon Jones joined in September, but two offers for the assistant groundwater manager position were declined. A new water resources specialist is expected to start November 9, and recruitment for a hydrologist is underway. Demers said technical efforts have lost momentum while the workload has continued.
