Background and Discussion:

In the May 10, 2022, Harris County Commissioners Court meeting, Precinct Three Commissioner requested that the Commissioners Court’s Analyst’s Office (the “Analyst’s Office”) examine attrition in Harris County departments. Specifically:

 

Report attrition and retention rates for all positions (including General Fund-funded and grant-funded positions) by fiscal year (FY) for the period FY2014 through FY2022 (March 1, 2013 - February 28, 2022) for the following Harris County departments/entities: Flood Control, Toll Road, Universal Services, Engineering, Public Health, Pollution Control, Elections Administrator (EA), County Clerk (for continuity for the positions transferred to EA), Tax Assessor-Collector (for continuity for the positions transferred to EA), and Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

 

Report a breakdown for each department of attrition by tenure with Harris County (employees with 10 - 19 years with the County, employees with 20 - 29 years with the County, and employees with 30 years or over with the County).

 

Report the number of positions that were transferred to the Office of County Administration (OCA) from OMB.
