Board approves grant-funded staff position to reduce SNAP error rate; county share budget-neutral
Summary
Board amended the Health & Human Services budget to accept $100,000 in consortium grant revenue to fund a lead income-maintenance position (roughly $75,000 salary plus $25,000 fringe). County staff said there is no levy impact; the position would be eliminated if grant funding ends. The resolution passed 16–1.
The board voted to amend the Health & Human Services budget to accept consortium grant funding and allocate it to a lead income-maintenance position intended to reduce SNAP/FoodShare error rates. County staff said the income-maintenance consortium received $1.5 million for participating counties; Adams County’s share adds $100,000 in grant revenue and a $75,000 salary plus $25,000 in fringe reimbursements for the position.
County staff explained the role will most likely be filled by an existing employee and is budgeted as a lead economic-support specialist (pay grade 15) with an annual starting wage of about $52,125. Staff emphasized there is no current levy impact because the position is funded by grant revenue; however, if the grant funding is not renewed the position would be eliminated.
Supervisors asked whether the funding is guaranteed beyond the current biennial allocation; staff said funding is anticipated to continue but is not contractually guaranteed. The board approved the resolution 16–1.
