(Central News Agency reporter Kuo Hsuan-wen, Hsinchu County, April 30) Hsinchu County's Zhubei City Office announced today that its authorized civil service staff numbers 106, but after deducting those on leave without pay and other factors, the actual operational workforce is only 84 people. Each person on average is responsible for serving 2600 people, indicating severe staffing strain, and the office will strive for expansion to enhance service capacity.
Zhubei City Mayor Cheng Chao-fang told a Central News Agency reporter today that Zhubei City's population has surged in recent years, and public service demand has increased in parallel. According to statistics from March 2026, the city office's authorized staffing is 106 people, but after deducting those on leave without pay and other factors, the actual operational workforce is 84 people, who need to support service capacity for over 220,000 residents.
He stated that compared to other county-level cities, Zhubei City Office's average per capita burden ratio is approximately 1:2086 (each civil servant in the office needs to serve 2086 citizens). However, after deducting those on leave without pay and other factors, each person currently actually serves over 2600 people, showing a significantly high staffing pressure.
Cheng Chao-fang pointed out that the city office operates under tight staffing, with fewer than 10 people in both the Public Works Department and the Public Utilities Department, respectively responsible for construction and maintenance of city-wide facilities. The Culture and Tourism Department has only 4 people but still needs to organize large-scale events, leading to heavy administrative burdens.
He said that regarding the structural staffing gap for administrative personnel, the office will subsequently send a letter to the Executive Yuan to seek expansion, hoping to maximize service capacity through reasonable personnel replenishment. (Editor: Long Bo-an) 1150430
