PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: X <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : None INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Passmore <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER- <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: <br /> To request approval to increase the number of hours worked per week for <br /> three (3) of the permanent part-time C.A.T. driver positions established <br /> through the FY 92 budget process. The positions were originally <br /> budgeted for 26, 27, and 30 hours. This request would permanently <br /> increase the hours worked per week to 35, 35, and 40 respectively. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> When the FY 92 budget was adopted, the hours worked per week was <br /> determined by the workload of the previous fiscal year. In September, <br /> 1992 the Board of Commissioners approved the inclusion of the Wake <br /> Opportunities, Inc. Head Start program as an agency that would pur- <br /> chase driver services from C.A.T. It was determined at that time <br /> that these additional responsibilities could be handled by existing <br /> staff. That decision has resulted in the increased work week for the <br /> three positions listed above. Temporary approval was granted until <br /> the new service had operated long enough to verify the amount of <br /> increase for each position. After three months of operation the <br /> Department staff is confident that these higher figures are accurate. <br /> The additional driver hours are billed to the Head Start contract. <br /> If the Head Start contract is discontinued, driver time will be <br /> reduced. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> The Manager recommends approval. <br />
