ICASARRUS COUN1~I <br />NBRTH CARQLINA <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Pc: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Don Cummings <br /> <br />Michael L. MurphYll~tk <br />Chasity Stoker <br /> <br />October 23, 2002 <br /> <br />Cyndi Smart <br />(Transition from part-time position to full-time position) <br /> <br />Please accept this memorandum and the attached proposed Job Descriptions as our <br />request to change Cyndi Smart's position from part-time, to full-time. As we discussed <br />earlier, this position is currently funded through the national Family Caregivers Support <br />Program. The funding for the increase in salary and benefits for this'position is available <br />in our current Home and Community Care Block Grant. The funding plan and contract <br />for these funds have akeady been approved by the Cabarrus County Board of <br />Commissioners. There was some concern that these funds could be cut further by the <br />State. Howe,,er, I received confn'mation from Gayla Woody with the Centralina Area <br />Agency on Aging yesterday, that these funds are secure. She actually informed us that <br />we will be receiving an increase in Block Grant funds due to a substantial Federal <br />increase. Therefore, these funds are included in the State continuation budget for FY'04. <br /> <br />It is our intention not to change the title from Caregiver Support Specialist. The Block <br />Grant funds will allow us to expand the services that we are currently providing through <br />the part-time position, however, we will now be allowed to utilize this position to provide <br />Information and Referral assistance as well. Cyndi will also assume the responsibility of <br />coordinating the Caregivei: Support contract and monitoring of the Coltrane LIFE Center. <br />We purchase some Adult Day Care services from them to support the Caregiver program. <br />This will transfer some of the Information and Assistance responsibility for Caregivers <br />from Chasity Stoker to this position. However, by committing 100% of this position to <br />the Caregiver Support program, we will have a significant increase in clients and service <br />delivery. <br /> <br /> Department of Aging <br /> <br />P.O.
