The Department’s Policy and Planning Division - Alliance to End Abuse Unit, is in great need of a position that will be responsible for the management and oversight of the various programs/projects and unit budget, including funding to community partners and community-based organizations working in the field of interpersonal violence prevention and services. The Alliance to End Abuse Unit, which is responsible for coordination of interpersonal violence prevention and services across Contra Costa County, cannot accommodate the changing workload and demands in this area without the higher-level knowledge and skill set in its current classifications and structure. The Program and Project Coordinator will be responsible for the implementation of the entire project-management process during the initiation, development, planning, execution and close-out of various projects within the specific program areas. Further, the position will be responsible for monitoring and tracking the project’s goals, budgets, resources, schedules and documentation, and for coordination with all internal and external stakeholders.
The Program and Project Coordinator position # 18589 was added to the Department with Position Adjustment Resolution # 25861 approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 11, 2022 (Item C. 37). However, the January 11, 2022 board order erroneously added the Program and Project Coordinator position # 18589 to the Administrative Services Bureau, Budget Unit 0501, rather than the Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse, Budget Unit 0586. The position has been vacant since it was added. Therefore, the Department is now requesting to reassign the vacant
Program and Projects Coordinator position from the Administrative Services Bureau (Budget Unit 0501) to the Policy and Planning Division, Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (Budget Unit 0586) to manage the Alliance to End Abuse Unit’s fund development efforts. The Program and Project Coordinator classification will enable appropriate distribution of the Alliance to End Abuse Unit’s work, and ensure meeting the range of the Department’s demands related to the coordination of interpersonal violence prevention and services throughout Contra Costa County. Funding for a FTE Program and Project Coordinator position is allocated within the budget of Policy and Planning/Alliance to End Abuse through Local Revenue, Non-General Fund.
If not approved, the Department will not be able to balance its budget.
