rourke, is there something specific just on that point? >> with an fte number of about 2,000 in our agency our natural rate of attrition is about 100, 110 positions, people resigning, it takes months to fill them, you go to a list, if there's not a list you go to an exam, so there is always this vacancy churn but it's important to note that's not the same 110, 150 positions, right? it's different vacancies over time. you take a snapshot, you say there's 150 vacancies. if you take a snapshot two months later, there may still be 150 vacancies but they're different vacancies. >> what is different now these past 3 or 4 years compared to the years before that we didn't have any salary savings. >> we are now at a vacancy level of, i believe, 170. two years ago we were well over 220, 230, and that was a function of the recession years and trying to contain costs. we intentionally kept positions rather than laying people off, we intentionally kept positions vacant to give us flexibility when times are good we leave the position in the budget and t

rourke >> we fund the temp salaries through our salary budget. we have our $10 million in salary savings, that is where we fund the temp positions. the reason we have so many temps is to meet that workload demand. an example would be, pick a 2903 classification eligibility worker, if we don't have an existing list but we know we have bodies coming through the door that need to be classified for benefits, for those willing to take a temporary six-month job we will fill that position while we are con dupblting the exam. it's a way to meet our operational needs without having to go through the hr process mr. rose spoke of. >> i'm concerned we have this broad discretion within the department to have temps rise and fall but never quite go away and you have a way to manage your budget to have salary savings at year end or not and it seems, you know, the control should be a bit tighter than what they are. >> well, i can't speak to the city-wide control. the control for us is our salary budget and the control is also the temp positions are limited to 6 m

rourke, through the chair, i wanted to thank you for explaining the staffing needs.i know the budget analyst had raised some questions about justification but this is helping me understand the service structure and the staffing structure and the horizontal integration you are talking about and that i know for cal fresh from the food security task force that you mentioned food security task force needs especially for the cal fresh positions, so this is really helping me understand the staffing needs. and i know when workloads are so overwhelming for your staff that they really need reinforcements, but your restructuring of how you use your money and resources so efficiently is really helpful for me. so thank you for explaining that. >> great. yeah, it is more difficult to explain. for every 200 new clients we need x more case managers, that's just not the world we are operating in any more. so the next slide is our family and children's services area. so the big impetus for our additional staff here is what's called the katy a lawsuit. in 2008 the state settled this l

rourke, what is on average the suction diper employee? >> we have been kind of an iterate process. we've been adjusting it back and forth, but right now i believe it's $5,000 and it's spread over a number of months. basically what we're trying to do is sort of mitigate the r*ifk to a private employer to taking on someone who they might feel has some barriers to work. we pre-screen them, we train them, we actually help them get that job and we know they're qualified but it allows folks to engage. in the early jobs now program while in the stimulus act we subsidize 100 percent of the wages in the private sector so someone could be employed for up to 18 months and we would reimburse the employer that whole wage. we just don't have the funding level to be able to do that for so long. >> just to be clear, i remember the jobs now, the implementation of it, it was great, but that's all dried up, right? >> right, that dried up the end of september two years ago, three years ago now. okay, so the next program area that we're seeing expansion and the state again recognizing the growth in cas

rourke, for the 7.9 allocated to san francisco, do they have the flexibility to spend it as you wantr is it mandated within these buckets that you spend it on? >> it's actually fundable across, with the exception of one pot of money, it's fundable across the entire allocation for cal works. we can make the determination to use it for more case workers, child care, so we are doing just that. we've developed what's called a family stablization plan that was submitted to the state department of social services for their approval. the other big area of funding is for subsidized employment. as you know, san francisco has for years had a very robust subsidized employment program called jobs now. some of the additional funding is going to expand that jobs now program which places parents who are on public assistance into paid work either in the public sector or private sector. the state funds are used to offset the wages that are paid either in the public sector or for private employers. so the second half of the slide is more the detail --. >> i'm sorry, on the jobs now, how have we seen t

things have gone for the current year and we can base release of funds on those remarks from trent rourke >> to clarify, just to get specific what that would entail would be approving a salary ordinance for this fiscal year, given we have such a short period of tie, i think putting it on reserve it would just be back in a few weeks but it would be i think next year's the hsa position ordinance increasing that. that's almost --. >> so i have a mind --. >> sorry, there's another option to thin for a week to see if everyone can figure this out and i'll throw that out there's a different option. >> we can do that too. >> again, i'm sensitive to timing and implementing, i'm sorry mr. city attorney if i screwed up my explanation there of my thought process. >> deputy city attorney john gepner. i wanted to be sure i was understanding supervisor avalos' comment. you can place funds on reserve. if you want to consider future aso amendments you can do that by continuing the item or as supervisor farrell says, approving the positions for this fiscal year, considering the position begin in next year'
