To the Honorable Board:
Upon recommendation of The Health and Human Services, Office of Commissions, I respectfully request "use of available funds" in the Health and Human Services Department, Salaries Monthly Account in the amount of $1,155 to increase the LGBT Liaison from 30hrs/month to 40hrs./month for the period of November 2014 - April 2015. During this time this individuals rate would increase from $577.04 to 769.38. In May 2015 the rate would return to $577.04 for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The LGBT Liaison position was funded at 30hrs. For FY2015. This position was just filled on November 1, 2014. The Department would like to fully utilize funding allocated, by increasing hrs from 30hrs./month to 40/hrs./month from November 2014 through April 2015. This will allow this person the hours to conduct outreach and engage with community providers, which would have been the focus in the first two months, allowing for a more efficient community orientation while engaging and coordinating service provision and collaboration on events.
Sincerely,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
