DATE: April 3, 2018
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Lisa A. Smittcamp, District Attorney-Public Administrator
SUBJECT: Salary Resolution Amendments - Welfare Fraud Unit
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Amendment to the Salary Resolution adding one Investigative Technician position and deleting one Supervising Legal Assistant and one Program Technician positions from the District Attorney Grants Org 2862, effective April 9, 2018 as reflected in Appendix C.
REPORT
To meet the anticipated reduced funding level for the District Attorney's Welfare Fraud Unit for FY 2018-19, the Supervising Legal Assistant and Program Technician positions will be deleted effective April 9, 2018. Both positions are vacant and these deletions will provide sufficient cost savings to add the Investigative Technician position in the current year.

If your Board were not to approve the recommended actions, the existing salary resolution would remain in effect. Failure to approve the additions and deletions of the recommended positions will impact the department's ability to reorganize the Welfare Fraud Unit to address staffing needs based on anticipated available funding.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The addition of the Investigative Technician position will be fully offset by the deletion of the Supervising Legal Assistant and Program Technician positions. The deletions are necessary to meet the anticipated reduction in funding for FY 2018-19. The Unit has experienced several vacancies including the resignation of a Program Technician II position (effective September 11, 2017) and a Supervising Legal Assistant position vacant since December 4, 2017. These vacancies are now recommended for deletion. The recommended action will provide sufficient cost savings to add the Investigative Technician in the current year.
DISCUSSION:
In partnership with the Fresno County Depart...
