4 th Quarter Report: Given the critical nature <strong>of</strong> the state's budget situation <strong>for</strong> Fiscal Year 2005, the <strong>Department</strong> has not been able to<br />
submit a request <strong>for</strong> additional staff. However, since the needs <strong>for</strong> additional resources have not diminished the <strong>Department</strong> has<br />
focused on improving the use <strong>of</strong> current resources. The DFCS budget package <strong>for</strong> SFY05 includes a major restructuring <strong>of</strong> state and<br />
regional operations, with the intent <strong>of</strong> freeing up additional resources which can be placed in county <strong>of</strong>fices. The implementation<br />
team, which will fully define the plan, began its work in October, and the changes would be effective July 1, 2004 if legislative<br />
approval is received.<br />
