Subject:P300 #20843 Add 3 Intermediate Clerk - Project to EHSD, CSB
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
are fully supported by the funding from the Head Start and Child Development
programs.
The three positions requested to be added to EHSD, CSB will be funded 100% by Federal
and State dollars. NO Net County cost is associated with the funding of these positions.
BACKGROUND:
CSB requests approval to add and fill 3 Intermediate Clerk - Project positions to ensure
efficient and effective operation for the LIHEP program and the CSB Child Nutrition
unit. For the last two years the services provided through LIHEAP increased
significantly. In the fiscal year 2008 the program served 3,681 clients. The following
year, 2009, the number of clients served increased almost two-and-a half times and
reached 8,399. The trend of increase of services is expected to continue during the new
fiscal year and in the future. During the current program year CSB LIHEAP expects to
serve over 8,559 clients. Additional staff is needed to handle direct client services, as well
as outreach, processing of payments and reporting. The CSB LIHEAP operates with
insufficient clerical staff. The drastic increase of clients creates case overload for the staff
providing services. To be able to handle the high demands, CSB needs to hire two
additional staff.
California Adult and Child Food Program (CACFP) regulations require that the CSB
Child Nutrition unit tracks all meal delivery, maintains a reliable data base of nutrition
services, furnishes monthly reports to the California Department of Education, collects
and maintains documentation required by the funding source, and assist with processing
reimbursement claims. The case load associated with meeting the CACFP mandates
requires a full time clerical support staff to efficiently and effectively furnish and
maintain necessary documentation.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If CSB is unable to fill these vacant positions, the Bureau will be out of compliance with
the federal and state mandates, as well as Head Start program operations. Additionally,
CSB will not be able to provide services crucial for the community.
