Subject:Add 8 Clerk-Senior Level positions and 1 Clerk - Specialist Level position for Children & Family Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
information, reports to the state and court, searches for absent parents, and other clerical duties as assigned.
Additionally, one Clerk – Specialist Level is required to complete more complex tasks and to direct, train, assign,
and review the work of the Clerks – Senior Level. Furthermore, the California Law Enforcement
Telecommunication System (CLETS) has become a high priority for Employment and Human Services
Department and one (1) of the new Clerk – Senior Level positions will be assigned to assist the Administrative
Bureau in supporting CLETS review of Children & Family Services inquires. The purpose of the program is to
ensure that emergency placements for children are safe by searching the criminal records of potential placement
providers.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to add these positions will impact the department's ability to effectively and efficiently provide services to
families as required by Federal and State mandates. Inadequate clerical support will create workloads that are
difficult to manage and will put the department at risk of not providing mandated services.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The work performed by these Clerks is essential to ensuring accurate and timely pro-cessing of critical
information required to enable the families to receive services and assistance in order to maintain safe, stable and
nurturing placements for our dependent children.
