RECOMMENDATION
title
Adopt a Resolution amending the Departmental Allocation List for the Health & Human Services Agency. (Fiscal Impact: $103,100 Expense; General Fund, HHSA Fund; Budgeted; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
The Health & Human Services Agency (HHSA), Child Welfare Services Division continues to have a need for two limited term 1.0 FTE Child Protective Services Worker II positions to help stabilize work in the division due to transitions, vacancies, and extended leaves of absence. Currently, Child Welfare Services has three limited term 1.0 FTE Child Protective Services Worker II positions with one set to expire December 31, 2026. This request extends the expiration date for the position to June 30, 2027, allowing the trained incumbent to continue providing necessary support.
Although the position is set to expire at the end of the calendar year, the salary and benefit was budgeted for the entire fiscal year. HHSA has available budget to cover the approximate $103,100 expense through June 30, 2027.
Requested Actions:
Amend the Department Allocation List for the Health & Human Services Agency by deleting a 1.0 FTE Limited Term (effective June 20, 2026 and expiring December 31, 2026) Child Protective Services Worker II and adding a 1.0 FTE Limited Term (effective June 20, 2026 and expiring June 30, 2027) Child Protective Services Worker II, effective October 24, 2026.
