Amador County – The Amador County Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved three regular agenda items Tuesday, with the most discussion relative to a proposed consolidaiton of Tuolumne County Department of Child Support Services with the Central Sierra Child Support Agency Joint Powers Authority. Catherine Giannini, Executive Director of the Central Sierra Child Support Agency, said the consolidation will allow her agency to stay within it’s state allocaiton of funds and “remain finacially conservative.” Supervisors Louis Boitano said the move is intended to supercede any state action to consolidate department’s as a way to alleviate the state budget deficit. “If we consolidate with Tuolumne County now and go up a category into a defined smaller agency, according to state standards, it improves the chances that state money will be there for us that wouldn’t be if they forced us to consolidate,” said Boitano. Giannini said her agency’s Board of Directors, which consists of Supervisors from Amador, Calaveras and Alpine counties, agreed to the deal only if Adele Hendrickson, Executive Director for Tuolumne County, take over as head of the consolidated departments. This would occur after Giannini’s retirmenet later this year. Hendrickson will reoportedly split 50 percent of her time between Tuolumne County and sites in Amador, Alpine and Calaveras. The Board approved of the consolidation 4-1, with Supervisor Ted Novelli against. The agreement will be discussed by the Central Joint Powers Authority Board this Friday, where they will negotiate details. The agreement then must be approved by the Board of Supervisors in each county. Also during the meeting, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved to replace the annual audit with a finacial review for the Pine Acres Community Services District, and approved propoerty located at Highway 88 and West Clinton Road for compliance with the California Land Conservation Act in order to receive Williamson Act funding.
