SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
With the opening of the new Veterans Administration (VA) Department of Defense (DoD) clinic, there is an increase in both active duty and reserves veterans frequenting the Military and Veterans Affairs Offices (MVAO). Veteran’s services are provided in multiple locations, with an additional office located inside the new clinic. The addition of one (1) Office Assistant II will help support the increasing workload of the MVAO by providing additional administrative support to the veterans’ representatives. To assist in addressing this increased workload, the Department of Social Services is recommending the addition of one (1) FTE Office Assistant II.
The Department is adding the following additional staff position:
Class Current FTE Revised
Classification Code FTEs Change FTEs
Office Assistant II 80E21 0 1 1
TOTAL 1
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Human Resources Department has reviewed/approved the recommended action. County Counsel has approved to form.
FINANCING:
The staffing increase will be funded by federal and state CDVA Subvention funds. Recommendations for the above position change results in an increase to the estimated revenues and appropriations of $34,903 in Budget Unit 001-5010-SOC003-8260 for FY 2016-17. Funding for this position is expected to be sustainable with future year’s federal and state CDVA Subvention funds. This position will be incorporated in the FY 2017/18 budget process. Approval of this action has no impact on County General Fund Contributions.
