Title
Human Services Department recommending adoption of Resolution amending the Department’s Authorized Personnel Allocation, deleting two (2.0 FTE) Care Management Counselor I/II (CMC I/II) positions.
FUNDING: Community Based Services Program State General Fund.
Resolution 198-2009
Body
BUDGET SUMMARY:
Initial 09-10 Linkages Allocation $ 243,967
Funding
Budgeted $ 243,967
Funding Reduction $ 196,130
09-10 RIF Savings $ 111,682 (2.0 FTE CMC I/II positions 9 months)
Other 09-10 Savings $ 84,448 (Transfer other staff to funded programs)
Total 09-10 Savings $ 196,130
Remaining 09-10 Funding $ 47,837
Change To Net County Cost $ 0.00

Necessary budget adjustments will be made during the Budget Addenda process.
