RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors approve the allocation of one full-time (1.0 FTE) Program Coordinator position (salary range 421, class 1425) in budget unit 282 effective upon approval; and approve the deallocation of the Housing and Community Programs Specialist position (salary range 368, class 0647) in budget unit 282.
