FROM : JAMES A. RYDINGSWORD, DIRECTOR
Social Service Department Contra
Costa
DATE : March 6 , 1989 @ County
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT TO EMPLOYEE WHILE ON SPECIAL
PROJECT WITH MERCED COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the Auditor-Controller, on behalf of the
Social Service Department, to reimburse Christine Thompson, a
Social Service Department employee, for apartment rental and
travel expenses not to exceed $550 a month or $11 , 000 total
while she is on loan to Merced County for a twenty-month
special project to begin March 15, 1989 and ending
November 15 , 1990.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
These expenses will be paid for by Contra Costa County Social
Service Department within their budget.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Merced County Department of Social Services is piloting the
"Magic" System Project. Magic is to be an automated welfare
warrant issuance system that will eventually replace the
current case data system. It is the intent of the Social
Service Department to adopt this system for its use because
the current case data system has become difficult to maintain
in keeping up with the additional program needs and state
reporting requirements. Ms. Thompson' s salary and fringes
will be paid for in part ( 97%) by the state and she will
remain an employee of the County. Ms. Thompson will come back
to the Department on a monthly basis to report on the progress
and development of the Magic Project. By having Ms. Thompson
placed on the team for the Magic System development, we feel
that we will be greatly advantaged in the final design and in
our ability to train staff in the implementation of the
system.
