Rehires Continue to be Used Extensively! Currently there are 32 Retiree-Rehires working in

County offices.

They have been an essential element in being able to continue to deliver effective programs.

Counties make up a significant portion of the funding for these positions.

31 Counties do not currently have a full time home-based county agent.

Status of Filling Agent Positions We have allocated funds to each district to fill critical

agent vacancies.

We are currently in the process of filling 14 positions.

Districts have leveraged county funds extensively to fill these positions.

Points of Discussion - Counties have stepped up to help fund positions. - Some counties are experiencing budget problems. - Some county officials and clientele are not happy. - How long can we keep the rehires? - Some situations are not sustainable. - Allocation of resources to program areas (local

priorities)
