RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Robert Half International Inc., in an amount not to exceed $195,000, to provide an Interim EHSD Chief Financial Officer, for the period October 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This will increase department expenditures by $195,000, funded by 5% County, 51% State, 44% Federal revenues, as an administrative overhead expense.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) needed to urgently hire a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to replace the CFO who departed at the end of August 2019. To fill the immediate need, EHSD hired an Interim CFO on a temporary basis, while continuing to actively recruit for a permanent Chief Financial Officer.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This Contract contains modified indemnification language. This Contract is subject to final approval by County Counsel and Risk Management.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD would not be able to meet and/or sustain fiscal support service needs.
