AUTHORIZING CREATION OF PART-TIME DINING CENTER COORDINATORS

Background:   The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) has 5 senior dining sites located throughout Sauk County.  The Dining Center Coordinators became Sauk County employees at the beginning of 2016, when the Health Care Center took over the meal preparation for the Aging Program Nutrition Program.

At the beginning of 2016 the Dining Center Coordinators were hired as Limited Term Employees and have been such since that time.   The ADRC proposes to create these positions to Regular, Part-time staff.  

The ADRC has 5 senior dining sites that must have a site manager present, trained in ServSafe for food safety practices.  Additionally the staff must manage volunteers, home delivered meal delivery and the copious amount of paperwork required by the Federal and State Government.  The Dining Center Coordinators must be on site Monday-Friday and as Limited Term Employees do not have any paid time available to take when sick or appointments arise.  The ADRC strives to help all Sauk County residents over age 60 and disabled residents over age 18 who meet the requirements of the program with a nutrition program that allows the residents to remain safe and secure in their home.

Fiscal Impact: [ ] None   [x] Budgeted    [ ] Not Budgeted

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the ADRC is authorized to create four Part-Time Dining Center Coordinators effective January 1, 2019.

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisor October 16, 2018.

Respectfully submitted,
