Welcome
Bob Weil welcomed attendees and thanked outgoing Chair, Carla Janoff for her years of service and indicated as the newly appointed Committee Chair he has been asked to consider ways to impact improving service delivery. Bob asked members to consider the task at hand for discussion at the next meeting.
Jeff Swartz thanked the One-Stop Fiscal staff for their detailed reporting enabling members to clearly comprehend the allocations and spending. Kathy indicated that it took a lot of staff time to expand the budget when initially requested to do so, however, she has found that staff realize the benefits of the current reporting. Kathy added that the One-Stop and Resource Center are 100% self sustained.
July 1, 2009-June 30, 2010 master budget review- barb pape
§ The fiscal agent indicated the cost allocation plan is based on the number of participants.
§ The (WDP) Workforce Development Partnership Program Notice of Obligation is pending.
§ The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding for the Summer Youth program balance will be used to transition youth into training or unsubsidized employment. Currently nine of the original thirteen seasonal staff hired is still employed. It is expected that attrition will reduce this number to five.
§ The One-Stop Operator also indicated we must remain cognizant of potential state funding cuts in the future. For sure the ARRA funding, which is slated as a one-time infusion will be lost and while the (GA) General Assistance funding was nearly doubled this year, it is uncertain what funding will look like in the future. Kathy added that the face of the GA population is changing due to economic downturn, those without children who lose their jobs are being faced with loss of housing and depleted unemployment insurance.

master budget review- barb pape
§ The fiscal agent indicated with the exception of Case Management funds the budget is on target for full expenditure.
§ A recommendation was made to meet with the Board of Social Services to address innovative ways to utilize the Case Management funds. Camden County s the only county with the Board of Social Services providing “To Work Case Management.”
§ The budget reflects One-Stop Operations overspending, however, this is the result of additional costs for adding one additional police officer to monitor increased customer activity at the One-Stop. The State is expected to reimburse the county and Operating costs will be in line.
§ Special Initiative funds are being utilized to provide Rental Assistance.
§ All other funding is fully expended.
Goodwill CONTRACT UPDATE
Mark Boyd continues to dispute the recent de-obligation. After extensive discussion the committee recommended consulting with County Counsel for an opinion.
