Item/Subject ORDER, Authorizing the City Manager to Create a Part-time Gram. 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.
