The Board has considered the report of the Employment and Human Services Director to the County Administrator advising of the Bureau's intent to suspend Center Based Head Start on June 30, 2008. The nine month Head Start program will be extended this year to avoid adverse budgetary impact due to loss of service days. The part-year Head Start Home Based program will be suspended as planned on May 16, 2008. 2. The Board has considered the impact of limited funding and the staffing necessary for the efficiency of County government operations and has considered the staff retention plans submitted by the Community Services Bureau for the Head Start program under its jurisdiction. 3. In order to keep expenditures within available funding or to keep staffing at the level necessary for efficient operations, it is necessary to abolish the positions described in Attachment "A-1" on the dates indicated for reasons of economy, lack of funds or because the necessity for the position(s) involved no longer exists and to lay off employees accordingly. 4. Positions required to support the Head Start program in August and September will be re- created. The positions shown on Attachment "A-1" are to be abolished and new positions establish on the dates indicated. 5. The Employment and Human Services Director, shall issue layoff or displacement notices, as the case may be, and give notice to affected employees of the Board's action. 6. The Employee Relations Officer shall give notice of this Resolution to recognized employee organizations representing employees impacted by this action. 7. To the extent that the subjects of this Resolution are within the scope of representation pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code Section 3500 et seq.), this Board offers to meet with recognized employee organizations upon request concerning this Resolution. 8. Recognized employee organizations may submit to the Employee Relations Officer written requests to meet and confer on specific proposals with respect to this Resolution of resulting layoffs. This authorization and direction is given without prejudice to the Board's right to reduce or terminate the operations and services of the County and of Districts governed by this Board and to eliminate classes of employees or positions as involving the merits, necessity, or organization of services or activities of the County or Districts governed by the Board and not within the scope of representation. 9. This action is taken without prejudice to pending consulting, meeting, and meeting and conferring with recognized employee organizations. 10.
