Is Cuyahoga County’s payroll larger than it needs to be? That’s the question at the heart of a new proposal to re-evaluate the county’s operational and organizational structure amid significant, and in some cases long-standing, staffing shortages.
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Is Cuyahoga County’s payroll larger than it needs to be?
“We’re down a lot, and we’re still functioning,” Mason said. “There are going to be a lot of positions that are on the books that have been on the books for just a really long time, and maybe we won’t have to fill them all.” But Mason questions whether other departments already have the staffing needed to perform the expected duties. He couldn’t point to any specific jobs that might be superfluous, but he said based on the number of vacancies currently, he assumes there are many.The proposal comes as the county is about to transition to new leadership, either under executive candidate Lee Weingart, a Republican, or Democrat Chris Ronayne.
Ronayne has proposed creating several new county offices to address housing, transportation, and immigration, and a county ombudsmen office to handle complaints and connect residents to available resources. To that end, he’s already planning a “budget neutral” realignment of county resources and says there is merit in reviewing government operations after 12 years under the new charter, but not if it excludes direction from the county’s next leader.
“I think my opponent has talked a good game about reducing staff and improving services,’ Ronayne said. “Those two ends don’t meet.”
