Bonnie Hammersley said she will work with Nancy Coston, but there is a lag and a delay with the list. She said, as a better number is formulated, it will be brought forward. She said Nancy Coston included a caveat in the motion, stating that she would keep the manager informed if there was a larger need. Commissioner Rich asked how much will be left in the social justice fund for 2014-15. Clarence Grier said $100,000 would be left. Commissioner Pelissier said the Board had indicated an interest in having the $100,000 in the social justice fund for the Family Success Alliance project. She said the Board had indicated intent to use this amount. Clarence Grier said the Department of Social Services (DSS) has some salary savings that may be available for use to offset some of the overage. Commissioner Rich said she just wants to make sure funds are there to do all of the things the Board promised to do. Commissioner Price said more money will be coming in as a cushion. Clarence Grier said he and Bonnie Hammersley will review that, next month. A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs to approve the DSS proposal, transfer $350,000 from the Social Justice Fund to DSS for child care, and allow DSS to utilize any funds available within its budget to pay these costs. If additional County funds outside of the agency's budget and the social justice fund are needed, the DSS Director will submit a request to the Manager for Board consideration. Commissioner Price made a friendly amendment to add the Manager's recommendation that: If additional County funds outside of the agency's budget and the social justice fund are needed, the DSS Director will submit a request to the Manager for Board consideration. Commissioner Pelissier and Commissioner Burroughs accepted the friendly amendment. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b.
