M M M <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Based on the above data, staff respectfully request: <br />1. The Board authorize a Secretary III position in the Probation <br />Division with an effective starting date as soon as all the proper <br />paperwork is completed and the person can be hired. Estimated cost <br />during the remainder of this fiscal year is $4,780 including fringe <br />benefits. Annual cost will be $19,112 for this position. <br />2. The Board authorize a Probation Officer I position effective <br />October 1, 1989. Estimated annual cost is $25,000 including fringe <br />benefits. (Submitted for approval in 1989-90 fiscal, budget) . <br />Sonny Dean, Director of General Services, emphasized that <br />they need the secretary position right now, but it is not in the <br />budget. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that he would feel more <br />comfortable with this program if it was carrying itself, seeing <br />that it is not something that is mandated by the State. <br />Director Dean felt you could look at that from two different <br />aspects. If you are talking about revenue, it is not carrying <br />the entire department, but if you took at it from the aspect of <br />keeping people out of jail and performing labor for the county, <br />that is where it makes up the difference. It is carrying itself <br />if you use that analysis. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stressed that he was not being <br />critical, as he was happy with how the program is functioning, <br />but just felt that perhaps during budget time it would be <br />beneficial to look into the total cost and revenue side of this <br />and determine the benefits of all those other factors. <br />Director Dean figured that the labor savings to the county <br />for work performed is over $500,000, and that not having these <br />people in jail during that time period has saved us almost <br />another $500,000. <br />JUL <br />w <br />E�OG�77 <br />
