SOCIAL SERIVCES - REQUEST FOR PERSONNEL CHANGE:
Don Wall, Social Services Director; Willie Williams, Chairman
of the Social Services Board; and Mrs. Louise Doyle, Food
Stamp Eligibility Specialist, came before the Board regarding
a request for the establishment of an additional eligibility
specialist #1, to be effective January 1, 1983.
Justification for the need of the additional position
was that there was such a great amount of paper work to be
done for each applicant for food stamps. In addition, the
economy has caused more people to be applying for food stamps.
Mr. Wall said in 1978, there were 1,073 applicants for
food stamps, and in 1982, there were 1,610 applicants. Each
eligibility worker now has a caseload of 230 to 300 cases.
