DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Health and Social Services recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution and plaque of appreciation honoring Theresa Guglielminetti, Eligibility Benefits Specialist II, upon her retirement from the Health and Social Services Department, Employment and Eligibility Services Division, with over 20 years of dedicated public service to Solano County.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Theresa Guglielminetti began her career in October 1999 as an Office Assistant II assigned to Health and Social Services, Employment and Eligibility Services Division, supporting Welfare to Work, SMART Referrals, and Eligibility programs. In 2004, Ms. Guglielminetti was promoted to Eligibility Benefits Specialist where she determined eligibility for General Assistance and ongoing eligibility for Medi-Cal, County Medical Services Program (CMSP), and CalFresh food benefits program. In 2013, after briefly being assigned to the County Healthcare Options and Insurance Coverage Enrollment (CHOICE) call center, she returned to General Assistance where she spent the remainder of her career.
Ms. Guglielminetti was a model caseworker whose years of experience and program knowledge made her a valuable resource to the General Assistance unit. She consistently completed her casework efficiently and accurately to ensure correct issuance of cash, food and medical benefits to clients in need. She retired on February 28, 2020 as an Eligibility Benefits Specialist II in the Employment & Eligibility Services Division spending most of her career in the General Assistance Unit providing cash, food, and medical assistance to those in need.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the Department’s FY2019/20 Adopted Budget. The costs associated with preparation and purchase of the resolution materials and plaque are included in the Board’s FY2019/20 Adopted Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board of Supervisors could choose not to adopt this resolution and approve this plaque of appreciation; however, this is not recommended because this is an opportunity to recognize Ms. Guglielminetti for her dedication and outstanding contributions to the County.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
There is no other agency involvement.
