Social Services reorganization brings staff cuts and district merger
Cedar Rapids District Administrator Dixie Clark says the Iowa DSS reorganization, merging 16 districts into eight across 10 counties, is largely on plan. The changes cut 16.5 positions, mostly administrative, with 19.5 new clerical hires to address prior understaffing and aim for up to 3.8 million in annual savings beginning July 1, 1982.
