Natchitoches Parish Council approves Foster Grandparents budget amendment, updates OCS job description and confirms appointments
Summary
The council adopted a budget amendment for the Foster Grandparents Program and approved personnel changes adding an OCS senior program job description and salary ranges; the meeting also adopted minutes and appointed two members to the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The Natchitoches Parish Council on June 26 adopted a budget amendment for the Foster Grandparents Program and enacted personnel changes to add an OCS senior program support position and update salary ranges.
The changes were approved after a public hearing on two items: (A) a budget amendment for Fund 18 (Foster Grandparents Program) and (B) an update to the parish personnel manual to add a job description for the OCS senior program support and to revise salary ranges to accommodate the new program. OCS Executive Director Sharon Harris told the council that energy-assistance funds remain available and outlined distribution appointments scheduled for August. On the record, Harris cited figures for the program; the transcript includes both $204,999 and $408,909.09 as amounts discussed, and council staff said they did not all have the figures immediately available.
Council members also adopted the minutes of the regular meeting and confirmed two appointments to the Planning & Zoning Commission: Rhonda Sanders and Annie Green.

The council will rely on administrative staff to finalize the exact budget figures and to place personnel changes into effect following standard onboarding and pay-scale procedures.
