She said in many departments technology has advanced, so 14 there was not as much need for postage, as an example. She said all of the departments cuts 15 only resulted in a gain of about a half million dollars, because it only included operating 16 expenses, not personnel. She said the majority of costs in all departments is personnel, so if 17 there are any hardships going forward, she will work with department directors to help find what 18 they need. 19 Annette Moore, Human Rights and Relations Director, said she would rather cut 20 operating costs than personnel. She said she is satisfied with the EDP and the expeditor, so 21 the department will be fine. 22 Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: 23 24 Slide #31 Human Services • Human Rights and Relations —page 301 Numberof Limited English Proficiency outreach Activities d ao m ORANGE COUNTY 25 51 N IUII CkR-LINA 26
