DOTE Significant Issues
Staffing
• Current Staffing 160/203 FTE
• 43 vacancies
• 20 positions were PVA’d in FY 2021
• Filling remaining 23 vacant positions in a timely
fashion is an ongoing issue; limited number of
qualified applicants
• Future Staffing
• 38 employees eligible to retire in the next 3 to 5 years
• 10 new FTE needed to maintain the school flashers,
traffic signals, and streetlights.
• After almost 2 years of managing the Traffic Services group, DOTE is in
the same predicament as DPS; there is not enough staff to do all the
work.
