What has been the recent annual and monthly trend of work performed by the position? The trend is that the current private contract is becoming increasingly expensive ($50,000 for 2010 and an increase for 2011), as the provider continues to ask for more money to operate the program. This program does all of the after hours and evening checks on youth and their families to assure safety and accountability. This is a cost effective service that has helped contain alternate care expenses. This position is also responsible to install electronic monitoring equipment and do random drug screening on particpants. Caseload averages between 15 and 20 cases on a monthly basis. 2. Who fills in for the position during absences for PTO? The fill in would be very minimal without this part time contracted position. 3. What will the impact to the public of a delay in filling the position? Less delinquent youth would be monitored after -hours and on weekends. Out -of- home detention holds and placements are very expensive and many of them can be averted with community tracking services. 1. How much is the net savings for each month the position is unfilled? $3,000 per month for this part time contracted position. Anticipated annual expenses are estimated at approximately $36,000, which is $12,000 less than the current contract vendor.
