Evans FROM: Jerry Robins''D�n DATA.: .January 17 , 1 978 RE: Budget Revision for NonPersonnel and Personnel Costs In early pecamber you notified us that we nay not spend anymore on capital expenditures until the budget is revised, as this item is overspent.. As we are now putting' a depar. eat together our capital, needs are irrmedi.ate and consider-- _ ably greater that p eviously estimated and budgeted for.. Either the District took the equipme>it or th y used old, bad stems which we Dave now inherited. This led to an analysis of our expenditures up through December 31, 1977 and to the realization that at our present rate of expenditure we shall have an estimated $28,220 left over as of June 30. (See top half of Attachment Number 1.) I. W&°'put toget er a list of present equipment needs v�hich would give us the equipmint we need t3 (at) be in compliance with standards and W allow us to func- tion more efficient y/sufficiently. This Listing totaled $13,700. By balancing and prioritizing, t e last now totals $7 ,629 (see Attachment Number 2). II. At the Board of Health January 12th meeting, I presented a case to the Board that we should increase the Sanitarian staff so as to bring us up to the minimum State standard for such manpower. Attachment No. 3 is from .Tack knight, State Re- gional. Sanitarian; this detailed breakdown shows we need 3. 5 Sanitarians to meet aUr present sanitation.reEired_work load. This attachment also shores what we are and are not able to do. {We are ther fore requesting that we start now with fund under expenditures to staff this effort. Attachment No. 4, top part , gives the cost factor (short and long term) of the 1equested additional sanitation staff (due to the balancing of needs against funds available we are only requesting 3 additional sanitation staff at this time). There are three main reasons why we need to get started on this staffing nnx: 1. The inimal required work for orange County's environmental health considerations is of going to be accomplished this year , thereby impacting the present and future problems. 2. If ue are able to actually hire Sanitarian 11's, they will be non- functional (carry less than a full load) for at least two to three months. if we can only recruit a licensed Sanitarian I's they will not be functional for at least three to four rriont s. If we have to hire new graduates they would not be functional, for five to six Tao the_ New graduates are required to spend 30 days away from the Agency at a trai.ni 8 site, plus they cannot function after that until trained also by the local, agency and lastly they must be certified by the State District Sani- tarian. If we way, unties July to begin, we are guaranteeing inadequate sanitation work for Orange Co a my (in the last instance) for one more year.
