(Child Support Enforcement) Child Support Officer <br /> This department has experienced both an increase in workload and new <br /> federal and state mandates that have severly impacted their operation. <br /> This has resulted in the Director having to manage an active caseload <br /> of over 800 (State standard is 200 - 250) and manage the departmental <br /> services. The Federal Government will provide 70% of the cost of the <br /> new position. <br /> *(Planning) Planning Technician (Part-time) <br /> This position (part-time) is needed to implement the House Numbering <br /> Ordinance adopted by the Board. Due to the departmental workload demands, <br /> existing staff cannot take on this project. It is projected that funding <br /> for the position should not exceed two fiscal years. <br /> (Purchasing) Central Services Clerk <br /> A Part-time position is needed to handle Central Charge out and ordering, <br /> big job copying and mail distribution. Currently most of these services <br /> are being provided by the Purchasing Technician. This arrangement is <br /> ineffective because the Technician is the only staff support to the <br /> Purchasing function. Departmental activities have increased significantly <br /> during the past two years and staff support must be provided. <br /> Three Quarter Year Funding: <br /> (Register of Deeds) Deputy Register of Deeds I <br /> The Vital Statistics division of the Register of Deeds department will <br /> move to the Agriculture building in the fall. This move makes the need <br /> for additional staff even more critical. For the past year, the Register <br /> of Deeds Office has been able to meet the increased service demands <br /> by sharing of staff between the division. This stop gap measure is <br /> no longer possible since the Vital Statistics division will be physically <br /> housed in a different location. Three Quarter (3/4) year funding is <br /> recommended based on the projected occupancy date. <br /> *(Public Health) Animal Control Director <br /> This position is needed to provide daily management support to the Animal <br /> Control Program. The need is further intensified as a result of the <br /> Ordinance adopted by the Board. Three Quarter (3/4) year funding is <br /> recommended based on implementation of the Ordinance. <br /> One Half Year Funding: <br /> (EMS) Four 911 Dispatchers <br /> The Communications division has experienced a significant increase in <br /> workload. The need to add a fourth console and staff support was identified <br /> a year ago. Due to the installation time required for the addition <br /> of a console, half year (1/2) year funding is recommended. <br /> *Denotes positions recommended to support <br /> new programs or program enhancements. <br />
