Cooperative Personnel Services (CPS), a public agency committed to improving resources in the public sector,

Department(EHSD). The purpose of the project will be to provide the Department with organizational design
options that will better support service delivery in difficult, as well as improving budget times; and,will
facilitate the effective integration of new and emerging service delivery trends into the Department's program
and operations. The assessment will involve a combination of information gathering and analysis activities
directed at:
• Developing an accurate baseline comparison between the EHSD and similar sized County Social Service
Departments. Factors assessed in this regard will include program responsibilities,budget, staff size and
ratios; clarifications, geographical delivery systems, and organizational structure; and,
• Gaining an understanding of emerging programs and service delivery trends that may impact the EHSD
organizational design. In developing this understanding,the CPS consultants and EHSD staff will
conduct research of literature, interview local, state and federal officials, and conduct focus group
sessions.
The CPS consultants will present the findings from the analyses above and improvement options to the EHSD
Director. The final report will be shared,not only with the EHSD Director,but the County Administrator's
Office (CAO) and other county social service departments cooperating in this study and experiencing similar
organizational changes.
