MORE: Staffing issues led to office’s closure in 2015
Bier said the office lost three veteran service officers in a two-month time frame, which left only two experienced service officers of the five on staff. There are a total of 11 on staff at the agency, including Bier, the service officers, benefits coordinators and office staff. The new service officers are now up to speed in their jobs.
The new office will have space for four offices — one for a service officer, a benefits coordinator, a receptionist/transportation scheduler and Bier, who will be there a couple days a week. They spent about $3,000 to outfit the new space sand rent will run about $14,000 annually.
