Hudson follows up on Legionnaires outbreak and hiring
Hudson asks if any positions were filled during the outbreaks; Porter says hiring happens at agency level and she will follow up with DOHMH.
Do you know if either during the summer when the outbreak, when there was an outbreak in the Upper East Side or now as there is one in the South Bronx, there have been any of those positions have been filled?
So we would have to get back to you on exact numbers.
Hiring happens at the agency level.
So unless the agency amplifies it to DCAS for support, we would not have insight to like, you know, direct hiring that's happening at the agency level.
Do you know if DOHMH did that with DCAS?
I would have to take this back.
We can definitely circle back.
I don't have that information in front of me.
Okay.
It would be great to know whether or not that happened in real time.
Of course.
And is currently happening.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Council Member.
