6 <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked if the department's revenue comes from a particular <br /> source. <br /> Erika Bryant, Child Support Services Director, said the department is 66.67% federally <br /> funded, and receives that much reimbursement, which accounts for the extra coming in. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton asked if there is a formula it is based on. <br /> Erika Bryant said it is 67% roughly. She said the department sends in the <br /> reimbursements that are allowable and receives the reimbursement at that rate. She said the <br /> department receives a state estimate each year, based on the amount the department is <br /> allowed to spend, and it went up significantly this year. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the halftime attorney position is a full time position that <br /> would be divided into two duties. <br /> Travis Myren said yes, half of the time will be in the County Attorney's office, to account <br /> for Annette Moore becoming the full time Human Rights and Relations Director, and the other <br /> half would be dedicated to child support. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if all of the departments in the Human Services category <br /> were exempt from the 5% cut in the operating budget. <br /> Travis Myren said he thinks that is true. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said the Department on Aging and the Library were required to cut <br /> 5%. She said Travis Myren would note which departments had to cut or not, as they come up <br /> in the presentation. She clarified that mandated safety net services were not required the 5% <br /> reduction. <br /> Chair Price asked about the decrease in operations between the department requested <br /> amount and the Manager's recommended budget. <br /> Erika Bryant said the contracted attorney was previously part of the operations, so there <br /> is a decrease with that position going away. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Slide #9 <br /> Human Services <br /> • Child Support Services—page 107 <br /> New Child Support Orders T.W Child 5upp-t Col leded <br /> EsUhlkhed <br /> .muao-sraam <br /> =mmm <br /> a.suaw <br /> ate <br /> sawn <br /> • F.dsrel.evrer lnvbedudrg lrendaniebrirdihidusls rem'mry oblic assiarw�IFadc•Id.Cesh BsreFls) <br /> Court acvnti�rrere olmiietl dmg—d— <br /> ORANGECOUNTY <br />
