Summary of Request:
California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) Job Services through Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency, in partnership with the One-Stop America’s Job Center (soon to be located at 2550 N State St, Ukiah) provides the following services to under-employed parents: comprehensive assessments; career planning/counseling; financial literacy; workforce preparation; job searches; labor market research; integrated education and training; English language acquisition; and case management services. Regulatory mandates require certain notices, forms, and brochures be delivered to participants. The program has used a Pitney Bowes folder/sorter to fold brochures and forms and to stuff envelopes for the last several years. The current machine breaks down and jams with each usage, requiring staff to complete the folding and envelope stuffing by hand, a process that must be completed 8-10 times per month and which requires an average of 25-30 hours per month of staff time. The proposed replacement of this machine will allow that labor time to be utilized elsewhere and reduce the occurrence of occupational injury from repetitive motion. A $15,000 transfer is requested to ensure funds for delivery, installation, etc.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
