RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a Resolution to:
a. Approve amending the Department of Social Services Budget Unit 001-5010- 8262-SOC005 to reallocate one (1) Principal Office Assistant to one (1) Senior Secretary, and seven (7) Social Work Supervisor II to seven (7) Social Work Supervisor I; and

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Department of Social Services (DSS) is requesting approval to reallocate one (1) Principal Office Assistant and seven (7) Social Work Supervisor II to one (1) Senior Secretary and seven (7) Social Work Supervisor I to meet the needs of the department and to more appropriately class the positions to what they are currently being used for in the Aging and Adult Services and the Administrative Services branches.
The eight (8) reallocated positions are listed below:
Class Current FTE Revised
Classification Code FTEs Change FTEs
Principal Office Assistant 80E80 17 -1 16
Senior Secretary 80A32 5 1 6
Social Work Supervisor II 60C81 25 -7 18
Social Work Supervisor I 16C80 0 7 7
TOTAL 0
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Human Resources Department and Merit Systems Services have approved the recommended actions. County Counsel has approved to form. The Budget Committee has reviewed and supports the proposed actions.
FINANCING:
The seven (7) reallocated Social Work Supervisor II to I positions are cost neutral in the Social Services FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget because the Department has them filled at the I level and was budgeted accordingly so there is a net zero change in costs. As for the Senior Secretary, there is a slight increase of $1,978 pro-rated over 5 months, $4,747 annually. This increase is supported 85% with Federal and State revenues, and 15% of 1991 Sales Tax Realignment funds. The small increase in cost for the Senior Secretary will be absorbed into the Department’s current budget as there are sufficient appropriations and revenues for the 001-5010-SOC005-8262 FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget and will also be incorporated into the upcoming FY 2019-20 Budget. The recommended actions will not increase the County General Fund contributions in DSS.
