RESOLUTION #06-130

 

WHEREAS, the retirement of the Project Sentry Manager provided an opportunity to review and evaluate the management functions of the Project Sentry Program; and

 

WHEREAS, it has been determined that the current Administrative Specialist Position could take over some of the day-to-day administrative functions; and

 

WHEREAS, the current Program Manager would move to a special part time position to provide Medical Review Officer services and to assist with the transition of administrative duties to the Administrative Specialist Position.

 

WHEREAS, the CCAB Director is supportive of this reorganization; and

 

WHEREAS, the program has been able to operate with no County subsidy through a combination of grant funds, surplus fund revenue, and program fee income since 1993 and, for the first time, requested operating funds during the 2006 budget process; and

 

WHEREAS, Project Sentry's operating costs have increased for a number of reasons including a increase in lease payments since their move and adding the full costs of county employees to their payroll since the loss of the grant programs; and

 

WHEREAS, with surplus fund revenue nearly depleted, the program will not be able to operate without a County subsidy for the remainder of 2006.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Project Sentry’s re-organization take effective the date of the passage of this resolution, with staffing to be reduced by one FTE by eliminating the Project Sentry  Manager position, the addition of a special part-time position established for providing Medical Review Officer services and to provide assistance with the transition of administrative functions, and the Administrative Specialist Position to be reclassified to a pay and grade level as determined by the County Services Committee upon a recommendation by the Human Resources Department.                 

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that up to $109,496 from the 2006 Contingency Fund will be appropriated to the Project Sentry 2006 budget.
