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.

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

created. The positions shown on Attachment "A-1" are to be abolished and new positions

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
