- Reduced contract for job services with Center for Employment Training by $5,000 - Eliminated financial counseling contracts with a private contractor and the Women's Center - Eliminated funding to the Department on Aging for management of the Wheels to Work program. This program will likely be suspended. - Reduced contract for Fatherhood Program with a private contractor by $10,000, eliminating the one-on-one client sessions - Reduced cost of OPC contract to assist with locating mental health services for DSS clients - Reduced in-home aide services by $46,000, resulting in fewer hours of service to each client and fewer clients receiving in-home aide services - Funds for administrative costs at Skills Development Center will be reduced requiring partners who use the facility to pay their own expenses - Justice Partnership funds were reduced resulting in the coordinator being assigned additional duties. This will reduce time spent on monitoring functions with contractors. - Additional revenue is budgeted in economic services for Justice Partnership Coordinator and Veterans' Services Officer. This will require each of these staff members to assume additional responsibilities resulting in them having less time committed solely to Justice and Veterans activities. - County funds in the amount of$50,000 for childcare subsidy, previously committed by the Commissioners, have been eliminated resulting in 33 fewer children having the ability to utilize this funding to receive childcare. Laura Blackmon said that there are programs that are not safety net programs that may need to be cut so that other activities that are safety net issues can receive more funding. Commissioner Nelson asked about the Veterans Service position and would like more information on this position. This position is not mandated and this person will be working in Veterans service 50% of the time and in the public assistance program for 50% of the time. Commissioner Pelissier asked about page 2 and the positions with funding risk. Nancy Coston said that these are staffs that are aware of this and are 100% funded outside of the County budget. These include school social workers, hospital staff, Justice Partnership, and Work First. Commissioner Jacobs asked for information on how many are served and where they would have to go if not Orange County. 2) Report on FY 2009-19 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) Follow Up Items Commissioner Gordon asked for information to come back on divesting of buildings.
