Workload and staffing resources for the Goleta Public Works Department were discussed this week during a special City Council meeting.
The agenda item didn’t require the council members to vote at the virtual meeting, and the presentation focused on major current projects and accomplishments as well as responsibilities and staffing constraints.
“Our state registration system requires an email for confirmation of the appointment, and many of our community members did not have that,” Do-Reynoso said. “It was amazing to have community members who could register and create an email account within their organization to receive the confirmation as well as to call their community members as reminders.”
The state-sponsored sign-up system that the Public Health Department uses for all of its vaccination clinics, PrepMod, requires an email address for the confirmation, whether people register themselves on the website or through the county call center at 2-1-1, spokeswoman Jackie Ruiz said.
