This local plan is required under the federal WA which is the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act and serves as our strategic roadmap for our local workforce development system.

The recommended compensation is consistent with historical patterns and notice requesting the adjustments must be sent to the county administrator by the dates listed in the board action.

I know that we are approaching a very difficult budget year and we've asked um every county department to hold themselves to a 2% increase.

Most likely because again this was a contract thing that we negotiated and for years and years we have not compensated this office and as we look to the future for other commissioners to take into some of these seats as some of us retire and come off. We need to make it it's not it's not an outrageous amount if we look at the colleagues and there was a great study that Commissioner Fernando brought to us about compensation across the nation um for commissioners and we are well below that average and so um I won't be voting that for for that and so for the motion on item 4C only um excuse me

I just want to, uh, highlight the work that the 911 response teams continue to do, um, working in community. Um, I've done ride alongs. Um, I've seen talked to police officers both cities talking about the value that it presents and the opportunities where it makes more sense for a uh alternative response to show up at a house than um than a police officer because a police officer can't bring access to services, cannot set up appointments, cannot speak on what kind of programs when that's the real problem, not because that there's a need for a police officer to show up.

I think one of our big challenges is going to be is finding the talent pool who wants to do that 911 response as a social worker to kind of go out there when it is a special calling that you want to show up live in people.

I think they do incredible work um in toward in terms of um making sure that parents have the right skills that they need um and the supports once they are um exiting the ACF.

the doula services actually do extend beyond um time at the ACF and typically many of our residents who are at the ACF also have social work uh social service attachments as well. So, as part of transition planning, we do ensure that there is that warm handoff as they work to transition um out of the facility.
