TOTAL SALARY AND BENEFITS Three Third Party Liability positions from August 1, 1980 - September 30, 1980 (1.c -I- 2.a above) ATTACHMENT A Agenda Item "B" 7/23/80 REASON: Grant funding for the position will end on July 31, 1980. During the past year, the number of persons added to ADC has increased rapidly. On June 30, 1979 there were 11,338 persons serviced by the Friend of the Court on ADC- In December, 1979 the number increased to 11,613 and on June 30, 1980 the number stood at 12,377. This represents an increase • of 8.7% in one year. Because the Friend of the Court enforces all child support cases on a non - complaint basis there has been a rapid increase in the volume of warrants outstanding. As of June 1, 1980, 4,097 warrants were outstanding as compared to 3,621 on January 1, 1980. For the first six months of 1930, 2,022 new warrants have been issued as compared to 1,561 for the same period . in 1979. Since court costs are normally assessed at a rate between $50.00 and $100.00. per arrest there is a cost recovery to the County for this service. In 1979, $42,917 in court costs was collected and returned to the County, In addition, the Officer currently filling the position is a female, giving additional flexibility to the Friend of the Court in processing arrest warrants for the growing number of women responsible for making child support payments. The request to continue the Clerk III positions through September 30, 1980 is to meet a commitment to the remaining employees. in the program to carry them through the scheduled termination date of the grant. The State cannot keep its commitment and is forced to terminate the program July. 31, 1980. 1/9487 July 24, 1980 Moved by McDonald supported by Perinoff the rules be suspended for immediate consideration of the resolution.
