General Information
The 2011-12 Recommended Budget provides funding for 101,039.0 budgeted full-time equivalent positions, which represents a
decrease of 257.0 from the 2010-11 level of 101,296.0. As depicted in the chart, approximately 60 percent of the budgeted
positions in the County are in the law and justice functional group and the health functional group (which includes Mental Health
and Hospital Enterprise Fund positions).
The major changes in budgeted positions are attributable to the following:
■ Child Support Services (-122.0) reflects the elimination of vacant budgeted positions to address the department's structural deficit;
■ District Attorney (-36.0) reflects the deletion of positions related to the termination of a Memorandum of Understanding with the
Department of Child Support Services and the reduction of various grant funds, as well as the elimination of other vacant budgeted
positions;
■ Mental Health (+53.0) reflects the net increase in positions needed primarily for the implementation of the Probation camps
settlement care program, the implementation of the Board-approved initiative to integrate health and mental health services, and
the implementation of the Board-approved General Relief restructuring initiative;
■ Parks and Recreation (-40.0) primarily reflects the elimination of vacant budgeted positions; and
■ Other (-112.0) reflects the net change in the remaining departments primarily to address the County's structural deficit.
