DATE: April 7, 2026
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Sanja Bugay, Director, Department of Social Services
SUBJECT: Salary Resolution Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Amendment to the Salary Resolution deleting one vacant Senior Staff Analyst position and one vacant Office Assistant position and adding one Program Manager Position to the Department of Social Services Org 5610, effective April 13, 2026 as reflected in Appendix "C".
REPORT
There is no increase in Net County Cost (NCC) associated with the recommended action, which will ensure that the Department has sufficient oversight of communications and legislative analysis, increasing capacity to strategically plan for upcoming programmatic changes resulting from state and federal action. The addition and deletions of positions in the recommended action will result in a net decrease of one position to the Department's total allocation.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board does not approve the recommended actions, the Department will continue its communication practices and legislative analysis up to current capacity and the Department's organizational structure would remain unchanged. This would limit the Department's ability to maintain consistent practice, anticipate operational needs, and proactively develop policies that improve client services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in NCC associated with the recommended action. The cost for the Program Manager position ($170,072) will be fully offset with the deletion of one vacant Senior Staff Analyst position ($148,610) and one vacant Office Assistance position ($71,656). Ongoing funding for the Program Manager position will be offset with State and Federal Social Services funds, 2011 Realignment Funds, 1991 Realignment funds, and the required NCC, which offsets the General Relief Program share of cost. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues are included in the Department's Org 5610 FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget.
