Manager Position for Me Health 6 Welfare Department R¢aon6lMe Departmenb Health & WeHare Commentary: This isa requestfor a part-time Gram Managertooversee the various giants" receive from the Maine Center of Disease Control. This position would provide financial oversight of grants, prepare required periodic financial reports to Me State, work with the program managers W find efficiencies among the various grants, and prepare budgets for new grant opportunities, among other duties. This 28-30 hour a week position would be solely funded by these grants which total over $3,300,000 a year. The Director athe Maine CDC has enthusiastically endorsed this concept. If this position is approved, I would plan to build into subsequent grant applications, Mus ensuring its sustainability with outside grant funding without any reliance on city funds. I would also note Me ability to do this within current funding and the State's support for this plan comes in par[ from Me elimination of director level positions in three Health D Welfare program areas. Directors have been replaced with program managers who are strong in program, but not expected W do the financial management/grant reporting administrative functions. The result is more personnel funds going W direct service, and consolidation of functions leading to efficiencies of scale. Establishment a the Grant Manager position would provide an opportunity to enhance expertise in this crucial area and capacity to manage grants and apply for new opportunities.
