ORANGE COUNTY I' HILLSHOHOUGH N ,�t NORTFl CAHOI..IN'A Z'Mcrts MEMORANDUM To: Orange County Board of Commissioners From: S. M. Gattis Subject: Orange County Public Service Employment Allocations Date. December 10, 1979 All participants and agencies funded by Orange County PSE monies nderstand that PSE jobs are not guaranteed after December 31, 1979. �it is necessary for the Orange County Board of Commissioners to determine how PSE funds remaining on January 1, 1980 will be expended, so that all participants, supervisors, and staff can be notifi ed immediately. After careful consideration of this complex situation, I recomme d Orange County initiate the following steps: 1) Immediately inform all PSE participants and agencies in Oran a County that PSE positions will be continued at their present hours a' d rates until at least February 15, 1980. Durham County will be given a July 31 cut-off date. 2) Establish guidelines which allow agency staff and participants to establish alternative work hours. For example, some may want tojwork only part-time for a longer period. Prior approval by the CEl`A Director and the Finance Director will be necessary before alternative work hours can be implemented. 3) If a worksite hires a participant before the cut -off date, allow his/her worksite to apply unused funds to other positions at the �rorksite. Furthermore, if the participant leaves that worksitci or if t4ere are no other participants left at the site, the funds would be reallocated to other worksites in the County which have participants. 4) Where it is feasible, participants will be transferred to empl yment under other CETA titles, programs and projects. Adoption of these policy recommendations will allow the County staff to prepare agency by agency allocations. We will notify all Worksit as soon as possible. After allocations are determined. I will send a memorandum to the Board specifically addressing 12 PSE jobs within Orange County government.
