ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
REQUEST FOR THREE INCOME MAINTENANCE CASE WORKER it POSITIONS: This request was made by Don
Wall, Social Services Director. The request has been approved by the Social Services Board. Total
cost for these three positions January through ,lune is $34,985, with the cost to the county being
$17,492. Mr. Wall said lapsed funds are available to cover this cost for the county's portion of
the salaries. The board discussed the possibility of using temporary help if experienced personnel
cannot be located. Commissioner Stewart advised the board that there was a court order called
Alexander vs. Flagherty, which mandates the social services department to process applications in a
timely manner. if this is not done, the department can be fined for delays.
A question was raised if the economy reverses, will there be a reduction in these positions
that are being requested because of a slow -down in the economy at this time. Mr. Don Wall said the
staff would be reduced by attrition if this should occur.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve Mr. Wall's request for three Income Maintenance
Case Worker 11 positions.
AMENDMENT TO MOTION from Commissioner Mitchell to hire three Grade I Income Maintenance Case
Workers as temporary employees until the first of the next fiscal year if there are no experienced
full-time Case Worker II personnel available.
Commissioner Stewart said the cost of fines because of the Alexander vs. Flagherty court case
could result in costing the county more than the three full-time, permanent positions would cost.
