<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> New Position Form <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 4. Alternatives that were considered in lieu of new position. (Have technological <br /> changes been considered?) <br /> <br /> The position is essential to the success and effectiveness of the one-stop <br /> resource center. Special software and technology will enhance program <br /> efficiency and effectiveness, however, counseling, care coordination, and other <br /> needed services must be provided by a knowledgeable and dedicated individual. <br /> <br /> 5. Why were manpower needs not planned through budgetary process? <br /> <br /> To the contrary, the position has been very much a part of the budgetary <br /> process. <br /> <br /> 6. List other rationale or pertinent statements and data: <br /> <br /> • The projected monumental increase in the older adult population provides <br /> additional justification. <br /> • Over the past year, services to caregivers in Hawaii County covering the <br /> same period of time has tripled. <br /> • Hawaii, having the longest longevity in the nation coupled with baby <br /> boomers entering the ranks of seniors in 2006, will only add to the <br /> demand. <br /> • The 60+ population in Hawaii County has increased almost 200% since <br /> 1970. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> DCS CP-002 (2/93) <br />
