Use the County's General Fund Balance to provide all or a portion of maintaining the <br />BQR SWCC for the remainder of the fiscal year. <br />Funding Alternatives that do include Service Impacts <br />Given the typical requirement to publicize and promote any changes to residents it would <br />be difficult to make any of these changes until February 1, 2010 allowing one month to <br />plan, execute and advertise any changes the BOCC may ultimately decide. <br />Decrease days of operations to two days only at the BQR SWCC <br />Current hours of operations at all centers are from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, <br />Tuesday, and Friday; 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday; closed Wednesday, Thursday <br />and Sunday. A decrease in hours would result in decreased personnel costs. <br />Changing to only two days of operation would result in a savings of $16,536 if a FTE <br />was utilized or $21,996 utilizing temporary staff. In this scenario changing to a <br />
