BACKGROUND:
Community Services Bureau (CSB) has outsourced its Mental Health Services, thus they are requesting to cancel the Community Services Mental Health Clinical Supervisor-Project (CJH3), (1.0 FTE), position #12927 and add a Comprehensive Services Assistant Manager (CSAM) full-time position for the Community Action Program. The CSAM position duties include, maintaining a social media presence for the program, performing extensive record-keeping and reporting to multiple sources, minute taking, creation of agendas and posting according to the Better Governance Ordinance, overseeing the Student Intern Program (hiring, training, monitoring progress, separating/graduating participants), event planning, and outreach for Economic Opportunity Council vacant positions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Community Action Program is currently under staffed and at risk of potential non-compliance and losing CSBG funding. If this position is not filled, essential tasks may not be timely completed such as monitoring subcontractor expenditures on multiple contracts, recruitment and onboarding of representatives on the Economic Opportunity Council, and adequate community organizing to conduct required public hearings. This position is key to adhering to county policies around the Brown Act, the Better Governance Ordinance, and reporting to the Internal Operations Committee and a failure to fill it will compromise the bureau's ability to comply.
