RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5030 authorizing adjustments to expenditures and revenues in the amount of $269,102 to reflect a loss of federal revenue in the Workforce Development Board’s One-Stop Center (0583), and the elimination of two vacant positions.

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5031 and No. 5032 authorizing adjustments to expenditures and revenues in Workforce Services (0504), Aging and Adult Services (0503), and Administration Services (0501) bureaus as a result of a decrease in CalFresh revenue allocations, and additional funding available in other program areas to offset the staffing impacts of the CalFresh reductions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will adjust both expenditures and revenues to reflect a decrease in revenue allocations and subsequent staffing adjustments in the Workforce Development Board (Org 0583), the Aging & Adult Services Bureau (Org 0503), the Workforce Services Bureau (Org 0504), and the Administration Bureau (Org 0501). The overall adjustments of $682,892 has a net effect of decreasing both revenues and expenditures by $145,175. There is no additional net County cost.

BACKGROUND:

The requested actions will rebalance the FY 2017/18 Employment and Human Services Department budget. Due to a loss in revenue, two vacant positions at the Workforce Development Board's One-Stop Center are being eliminated effective December 31, 2017, resulting in a net decrease to both revenues and expenditures of $121,202. The Department also seeks to make adjustments to expenditure and revenue budgets as a result of a decrease in the CalFresh revenue allocation that results in a change to the County’s federal and state match requirements. Due to the loss of revenue, one vacant Social Worker position and one vacant Eligibility Worker Supervisor position currently in Workforce Services are being eliminated effective December 31, 2017. The resulting decrease in match requirement for Workforce Development Board and CalFresh programs makes federal and state revenues available in Aging and Adult Services programs. Those revenues will fund the addition of one Deputy Director and one Administrative Services Assistant III positions. These actions will result in slight net county savings that are being repurposed to General Assistance County Aid in the Employment and Human Services Department. These actions will result in a net decrease of $23,973 in revenue and expenditures to the Department, and including the Workforce Development Board adjustments will ultimately result in a net effect of $145,175.

The combination of all three of these Appropriation Adjustments will result in a net decrease of $145,175 in revenue and expenditures to the Department, and return the budget to being balanced.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Appropriations will not be properly allocated.
