r
The elimination of management positions as outlined in Attachment A, and the reduction of management

BACKGROUND:
Based upon the CAO Net County Cost allocation to the Health Services Department for the 2004-05 fiscal
year, a shortfall of$24.7 million is currently projected. On April 20, 2004 the Department presented to the
Board a list of 88 programs slated for reduction or,elimination. To insure a balanced budget, a number of
the proposed reductions need to be implemented now to insure a full year savings.
Alcohol and Other Drug_Program Reductions
As a cost savings measure, the Board approved a recommendation on April 27, 2004 to refer all DUI
services in East and Central County to existing non-County first offender providers and to license those
programs as Multiple Offender providers. This request eliminates positions in the DUI program as outlined
in Attachment A.
Another cost savings measure is to close the Born Free programs in East and West County and transfer
the services to other providers. This request eliminates positions at the two program sites as outlined in
Attachment A.
Approval of this request will reduce the Net County Cost by $500,000.
