foster care and training school. The existing program, however, has had a capacity to <br />serve only two-thirds of the families which are referred by the Juvenile Court. <br /> <br /> The Department's use of the additional funding will involve the establishment of <br />an additional Social Worker III position in its FY2000 budget. We did not include a <br />request for the creation of such a position in the Department's budget request for FY2000 <br />as the availability of the additional funding did not develop until after our budget request <br />was submitted to the County. I have not thought it necessary to request the authorization <br />of the Board of Commissioners to apply for this additional funding (e.g., as a grant) as <br />our proposal involves only an expansion of an existing program (and especially as no <br />county match is required). <br /> <br /> This is, however, an unusual situation because of the timing. In the event you feel <br />we should secure the authorization of the Board to apply, I have enclosed an agenda <br />cover sheet for the May 17 meeting, and would request you place this matter on the <br />agenda. Otherwise, I would request you incorporate an additional Social Worker I11 <br />position into the Department's "30" budget request for FY2000. If other materials are <br />needed in order to do that, please advise me. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br /> <br />
