Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Personnel Allocation Resolution 194-2017, thereby deleting the current 1.0 full time equivalent (FTE) Limited Term Social Worker III allocation and add a 1.0 FTE Limited Term Program Coordinator allocation, effective January 31, 2018. This Program Coordinator allocation will provide support to the Elder Abuse Program grant, in accordance with Funding Agreement 335-F1711.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On September 26, 2017, the Board accepted additional funding from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to extend the Elder Abuse Program identified in Funding Agreement 335-F1711 to December 31, 2019; the Board also authorized the Director to execute an Amendment related to said agreement.
The Amendment I submitted to Cal OES called for a program redesign which included restructuring the staffing model associated with the grant, replacing the previously allocated Social Worker with a Program Coordinator based on identified needs to best meet the obligations of the grant and serve the community, and has been fully approved by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. In accordance with the program plan and budget identified in Amendment I to Agreement 335-F1711, HHSA is recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Personnel Allocation Resolution 194-2017, which will delete the current 1.0 FTE Limited Term Social Worker III and add a 1.0 FTE Limited Term Program Coordinator allocation.
ALTERNATIVES
Should the Board decline to adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Personnel Allocation Resolution 194-2017, the County would be unable to comply with the staffing model identified and approved in Amendment I to Funding Agreement 335-F1711.
OTHER DEPARTMENT / AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
