RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE TO ABOLISH AN Assistant Social Worker I POSITION WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
WHEREAS, the Department of Social Services (DSS) receives an allocation from the State to provide services to mothers with substance use disorders; and
WHEREAS, an Assistant Social Worker I position was considered in the 2026 budget to provide these services; and
WHEREAS, while planning the 2026 budget it was determined that a more effective use of CAPTA/CARA funds would be to allow Public Health nurses to bill for services provided to pregnant and post-partum mothers who require our services but would otherwise not fit the criteria to be billable as CHHA clients; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that the Assistant Social Worker I position was not needed in the 2026 budget but was inadvertently created.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby abolishes Assistant Social Worker I, Budget Position #3765.
