Commissioner Price asked if the Social Worker 1 position is an entry level position. <br /> Nancy Coston said yes, it is an entry level social worker position, but it is not a Child <br /> Protective Services Social Worker. She said this position will work alongside Child Protective <br /> Services social workers to allow them to provide better focus. <br /> Travis Myren said the funding for this position is for 6 months, starting in January.

She said children that are <br /> placed in other states are a challenge, and this is a hard measure to meet. <br /> Commissioner McKee said the state requirement is misleading, and asked if it must be <br /> at the 95% level. <br /> Nancy Coston said yes, wherever the children are, DSS staff need to get to them. <br /> Commissioner McKee said that if the trend starts to drop, the BOCC needs to know this. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> Human Services <br /> —Social Services—page 375 <br /> • Economic Services <br /> -rae.-ane mareeaaefszz,oaolfmm s�eaieeaian ena aarannneiceaa <br /> —Tmnanen elEmergency AaaiefancePdminiatratienfrem DSste lirterfailM1 Council <br /> entl O.N.Cangregafionein Mesian <br /> e Mrnre SlM,Tg5hem SubaiayD'niaienleEceiwme5erviceeDiriaien— <br /> C9nhac[Services <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> u III a,.ewn.rn.c <br />
