In some cases, over 80 hours per month for key County personnel are necessary <br /> through the different phases of the project. (See the matrix in Attachment 2). <br /> In order to accommodate this added responsibility, several personnel in each functional area will <br /> have to reassign duties to other staff. Although this reassignment will have the benefit of <br /> broadening the overall knowledge base of existing staff, it will also require supplemental staffing <br /> during the implementation period. This proposal creates capacity at the introductory level of the <br /> organization where training can be accomplished quickly and direct customer service can be <br /> retained. <br /> The Health Department and Planning Department have agreed to create time limited position <br /> authority in the Health Department and to transfer existing part time position authority to <br /> Planning and Inspections to supplement staffing resources dedicated to the software <br />
