body
Financial Impact:
The Department plans to fund this equipment purchase using existing salary savings from vacant positions within the FY 2024-25 budget. This approach avoids any additional impact on the General Fund.
Background Information:
This request is to cover onboarding costs for the new employee and position added to the Public Guardian’s office on 10/22/24 (Agenda Item 24). On 10/22/24, the board approved the addition of a new position within the Public Guardian’s office due to a shift in responsibilities previously handled by County Counsel. The Public Guardian’s office committed to funding this new position and its onboarding costs through existing salary savings for this fiscal year. This transfer will move the previously committed and Board approved $8,000 from salary savings into the services and supplies account, enabling the Public Guardian’s office to cover essential onboarding expenses.
