(Social Services) Clerk Typist III and Social Work Supervisor I <br /> Both positions were identified as a critical need in the DSS Staffing <br /> Study. The clerical position will provide support to the Income Maintenance <br /> Unit. This will result in more appropriate use of existing staff, since <br /> the clerical duties are currently provided by the Eligibility Specialists. <br /> The supervisory position will eliminate the need for line staff to be <br /> supervised by the Agency Director. Ftrther, as noted in the study, <br /> the addition of this position will enhance our quality assurance efforts. <br /> Half (1/2) year funding is recommended based on the scheduled reorganization <br /> plan. <br /> (Public Health) Public Health Educator I <br /> The department currently has one position meeting the health education <br /> needs of our community. The demand for service has increased and this <br /> position was identified as a high priority by the Board of Health. <br /> Prior to 1982, the department had three Health Educators, however due <br /> to budgetary constraints and more critical needs in other areas, the <br /> staff support was reduced. If the County is to provide the service, <br /> staff support must be in place. Half (1/2) year funding is recommended <br /> based on consensus reached with the Health Director regarding overall <br /> departmental needs. <br />
