RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22076 to add one (1) full time Assistant Director-Project (9MD3) (unrepresented) position at salary plan and grade C85 1633 ($5,833 - $7,090), two (2) full time Comprehensive Services Assistant Manager-Project (9MS7) (unrepresented) positions at salary plan and grade C85 1208 ($3,829 - $4,655), one (1) full time Accountant I (SAWA) (represented) position at salary plan and grade ZB5 1332 ($4,328-$5,261), and four (4) full time Clerk Experienced Level (JWXB) (represented) positions at salary plan and grade 3RH 0750 ($2,905 - $3,605) in the Employment and Human Services Department, Community Services Bureau.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of approximately $693,508, of which $134,026 represents annual pension costs. The cost of these positions will be funded through an Early Head Start Grant awarded to Community Services Bureau. This action has no impact to County General Fund. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families Notice of Award dated 3/20/2017 is attached.

BACKGROUND:

The grant is to provide services to 190 infants and toddlers county wide. Community Services Bureau (CSB) will serve these children through a partnership with community based child care agencies throughout the County. The Assistant Director-Project and the Comprehensive Services Assistant Managers-Project will be responsible to administer the grant, provide comprehensive services to the enrolled families, monitor and provide training and technical assistance to the partnership agencies, ensure compliance with the Head Start/Early Head Start Regulations and with the conditions of the grant. Clerks will ensure that critical data is captured and reports are generated on families and specific areas of the program as needed. An Accountant I will be responsible to ensure financial accountability and fiscal reporting to the Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families.

The grant is for the period March 1, 2017 through August 31, 2021. It is expected that his grant award will become part of CSB's base grant.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to obtain Board approval will not allow Community Services Bureau to fulfill its grant obligations and provide services needed in the community. This may result in refunding of the grant and the Bureau will be required to return the Award to the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Community Services Bureau supports all five outcomes established by the Children's Report Card: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; ) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families The requested action will better support all five outcomes.
