I. Recommended Action: Establish the class of Social Service Program Monitor and reclassify person and position #266 (Neil Nutter) from Vocational Counselor to the new class. II . Financial Impact 600 of this position is offset from State GAIN funds. Approval of this reclassification will result in a net increase of approximately $2, 549 annually.

Reasons for Recommendation/Background The position is assigned to plan and coordinate Social Service Department work programs and also related to placement of GAIN participants and to act as Work Programs Coordinator/liaison with other County Departments and private non-profit agencies. The work is being done by a Vocational Counselor position which is inappropriate for the more advanced and administrative nature of the actual work performed. A classification questionnaire concerning the position will be forwarded to you; attached to this request document are outlines and other material explaining the position in some detail. The Department is requesting this position be allocated at the salary level of Social Work Supervisor I which is seen as a comparable level in the organization. IV.
