These two broad categories are (1) Admin: stration - Personnel and (2) client payment programs. The manager's budget when cox and listed on state forms calls for an increase in county dollars of $61,501 or a 7; increase over the $878,391 allocated last year. The significant increases are in c] payment programs i.e. $15,568 for AFDC; $1,201 for rest homes; $21,987 for Medical $1,922 for Day Care expansion; $2,200 for foster care supplement; $312 for CWS Daffy for a total of $43,190 or 70.2% of the County Dollar increase. This is 4.9% of the increase in county dollars compared to the total county dollar increases. . Program 1✓ meat increases are mandated by State law. Our administrative and personnel budget which we feel is comparable to many other co departments who do not make cash payments to clientel is receiving only a 2.1% incre for 81-82. The budget figures above reveal $9,000 represents a 196 increase in county Handing remainder of the $61,501 increase in county dollars to be applied to administration personnel is $18,311. The department is requesting the county manager's creased for administration and personnel to br' this budget budget be is partments. The department, therefore re � �t �n equity with other de Worker's sal ' quests the restoration of $16,000 for a Socj Federal and State and $13,000 to thebT Title Stamp pro rnuel be re-allocated to off-set p gram. These adjustments will bring total county dollar increases to $90,501 or a 10.3% incz over 80-81. This is divided between (1) Administration - Personnel and 2 ments categories and reflects an increase of ( ) progam ya 54,°6 in category 1 and 4.996 in category This agency is facing severe staff reductions due to the expected loss of in Federal funds for Title XX administrative and personnel services. The allocatii'on of .x`29,000 for Title XX use will not negate the need to reduce Title XX staff reported i . our 4`6`81 budget package since the quoted figure of 5 or more equivalent positions to be lost vas predicated upon a 14% county Saaraas full time to transfer Handing between units. e with flexibili • •
