Public health describes short-term WIC CPA contract to ease staffing gap
Summary
County public health staff presented terms for a temporary contract with Amber Converse to provide one day per week of WIC CPA services at $40 per hour (8 hours/week, $320/week) from Dec. 5, 2024 through Mar. 31, 2025, with costs reimbursable through the existing WIC grant.
Public health staff told the Board that a full-time vacancy in the WIC CPA position left current staff unable to meet caseload demand. To address the gap, the department described a proposed professional service agreement with Amber Converse to provide one additional day per week (8 hours) of Certified Public Accountant (CPA) services for WIC casework at $40 per hour, totaling $320 per week, with a county-provided cell phone for calls related to the work. The contract term presented was Dec. 5, 2024 through Mar. 31, 2025.
Staff stated that both the contractor cost and the provided cell phone would be fully reimbursable through the county's current WIC grant. The minutes record the terms of the proposed agreement. The transcript contains a separate line referencing Resolution 202450 in the same segment; the minutes do not clearly tie that resolution to the Amber Converse agreement and the record is ambiguous on whether a formal board vote on this specific contract was recorded in the meeting minutes.
