RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 005043 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $36,601 from Public Defender (0243) to Public Works - ISF Fleet Services (0064) for the purchase of a vehicle for the Client Services Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases appropriations in Public Works - ISF Fleet Services (0064) and reduces appropriations in Public Defender 2909/2303 (Other Travel - Employee) program by $8,601 and $28,000 out of the Public Defender's AB109 program (2918/4953)

BACKGROUND:

The Client Services Program provides and enhances integrated programs and services for successful reentry of our clients. The social workers who work under this program need a vehicle to effectively meet with clients, their families and support systems, and resource agencies in order to link our clients with necessary community-based services and resources. In addition, the Client Services Program is projected to hire two more social workers, thus necessitating the purchase of another vehicle.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase is not approved, the Public Defender's Client Services Program will be required to find alternate ways to meet with clients and community-based agencies, which may jeopardize the Department's ability to support our clients.
