Communication No. 2644 from the Finance Director dated July 1, 1991 explains that the Information and Referral part of the Federal grant to the Coordinated Services, Activities Division, Department of Parks and Recreation, has been cut back for fiscal year 1991-1992 . Therefore, the Department requests changing these federally-funded positions to reflect the reduced appropriation. Your Committee was informed the subject funding is Federal but allocated by the State to the counties . The funding cutback will specifically affect "chore services" for the elderly which is a priority of the State and County but heavily dependent on Federal funding . Presently there are two (2) full-time positions and two (2) part-time positions . The part-time positions are the subject of Resolution No. 341 and are presently vacant. Because of the tenuous funding, the Administration desires to cut the subject positions to hourly, approximately two-fifths (2/5) time, which gives the Administration flexibility to respond to future budget changes . The County has received a committal letter for the Federal/State funding which is disbursed on a reimbursement basis . Your Committee Chairperson stated the background information provided in Communication No. 2644 is not sufficient and requested the Finance Director forward more detailed information in advance of future Finance Committee meetings . FC REPORT NO. 405 ADOPTED: JUL 18 1991 Y FC- 405 Page 2 July 9, 1991 Your Committee on Finance concurs with the intent of Resolution No. 341-91 and recommends its adoption. o HELENE H.
