County Administrator 9 CC: Personnel Director ATTESTED Interim Social Services Director PHIL BATCHELOR,4RK OF THE BOARD OF County Counsel SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR Lloyd Madden, Personnel Department BY ,DEPUTY M382 (10/88) I.O.-4 -2- BACKGROUND: On December 3, 1991, the Board of Supervisors referred ongoing oversight of the Career Development Employment Program to the 1992 Internal Operations Committee and asked the Director of Personnel to make a further report to our Committee during May, 1992 . On May 11, 1992, our Committee met with Eileen Bitten, Assistant Personnel Director and Lloyd Madden, Human Resources Program Manager in the Personnel Department and reviewed the attached report. In the meantime, the Board of Supervisors has become concerned about the growth in the General Assistance caseload and has sought ways in which to obtain training and employment opportunities for employable General Assistance recipients . While the Career Development Employment Program targets low income residents of certain census tracts and the General Assistance Program assists individuals countywide who are in need and not otherwise eligible for any other form of state or federal assistance, our Committee believes that there is a significant overlap between the General Assistance caseload and low income residents of the target census tracts in the Richmond and Pittsburg areas which the Career Development Employment Program is attempting to serve. We are asking the Personnel Department and the Social Services Department to seek ways in which they can cooperate in the identification and placement of General Assistance recipients through the Career Development Employment Program and through which training methods which have been developed through the Career Development Employment Program might be used to assist General Assistance recipients who will be working in County departments . In order to insure close cooperation between departments and ongoing oversight of both programs, we are asking that the Personnel Department and Social Services Department jointly report to our Committee in three months on the efforts they have made to cooperate in this regard.
