The hsa position ordinance increasing that. Thats almost. So i have a mind. Sorry, theres another option to thin for a week to see if everyone can figure this out and ill throw that out theres a different option. We can do that too. Again, im sensitive to timing and implementing, im sorry mr. City attorney if i screwed up my explanation there of my thought process. Deputy City Attorney john gepner. I wanted to be sure i was understanding supervisor avalos comment. You can place funds on reserve. If you want to consider future aso amendments you can do that by continuing the item or as supervisor farrell says, approving the positions for this fiscal year, considering the position begin in next years aso which you will be considering. I just dont know how to land on the number of positions in the aso to move forward today, but we do have money that is from the state, we know its a certify night amount that would cover the services an ....
Item no. 2 is an ordinance appropriating approximately 31. 5 million in order to support in home supportive services, cal works and other Program Expenditures in fiscal year 20132014. Madam clerk, why dont we move on to Public Comment . Anyone wish to comment on items 1 or 2 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor avalos, if you want to talk. I dont know what to say. I feel like were pretty far apart. I dont in any way want to hamstring the Human Services agency on Core Missions and clearly theres a need for ensuring that people can access the Many Services that are provided, cal fresh, medical, and income support as well as all the job tra ....
Do an iterative process within the department. Its not as if the need isnt there and we are just spending it, the need is there and the reason i made the comment about state and federal because were fortunate, finally, we havent been the last 5 or 6 years, where we didnt get funding. Now they have the money to do it and they are providing it to counties. So if we dont spend it that means maybe contra costa gets more money. If we dont draw down the money from the state and we still have to meet a mandate. Thats right. Either we meet our mandates not as well or we dont meet our mandates or in the case of ihhs, which is a great example, we have a mandate to reassess every ihhs consumer once a year. We are reassessing 48 percent of our ihhs consumers every year because we dont have the case workers to do it. Theres a 31. 5 million allocation from the state, our recommendation is to reduce it by 134,000 for certain administrative costs. I believe the department agreed to that. The positions ....
Positions, existing positions and in this case in specific positions that they are being requested which are vacant, can be filled from existing positions rather than creating new positions. Let me just continue my presentation. Lets have you finish first. So weve identified, supervisors, on page, the bottom of page 10 of our report, the last paragraph there where it says that hsa has a total of 157. 2. The department provided us with updated information and we now would revise that number to 152. 2, or 5 positions less than the 157. 2, and these are across the relevant classifications that were talking to today. On page well, i can go now to our recommendations. First of all our first recommendation on page 12 is to reduce this requested supplemental appropriation by 1349. 58, as i understand the department concurs with our recommendation. Thats recommendation no. 1. On recommendation no. 2, were recommending with respect to all of these positions that instead of a hire date of april ....
What positions are currently being filled by temp positions so i couldnt speak to that. I think your question was to process . How does it typically work . There are a lot of temps in the department. Mr. Rourke says the positions we will be creating could be filled by many of the temporary employees, so i want to make sure that as that process happens that a temporary employee is moving to a permanent position, that were going to see the temporary position go away where its not going to be placed in the budget where there will be a position in the aso and money in the aao, so can you confirm what actually happens . My understanding of the kai temporary positions work, theres funding in the budget for the temporary positions but i have to go back and look at how exactly the ftes are written. I dont want to tell you the wrong thing but i can get back to you about that. Mr. Rourke we fund the temp salaries through our Salary Budget. W ....
