RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25897 to reassign one (1) full-time Senior Public Health Nutritionist (V9TE) position #8626 and its incumbent at salary plan and grade TC5-1526 ($6,140 - $7,463) from Department 0540 (Contra Costa Regional Medical Center & Ambulatory Care Centers) to Department 0450 (Public Health) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will result in an annual salary and benefit cost increase of approximately $154,073 in the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center & Ambulatory Care Centers Department (0540) and a salary and benefit cost decrease to the Public Health Department (0450). This position is fully funded in 0540 by Federal NSA/WIC grant revenues, Nutritionist line-item (Regional Breastfeeding Liaison fund).

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to reassign one (1) Senior Public Health Nutritionist (V9TE) position #8626 from Hosp Enterprise/School Based Clinics (Department 0540, Cost Center 6418) to Public Health (Department 0450, Cost Center 5828).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Public Health Women, Infants, and Children's (WIC) department does not have a Senior Public Health Nutritionist position to support the program. School Based Clinics had one (1) vacant position with no plans to fill. This position was vacant for the past three (3) years. The WIC Program needed to meet the California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) request for an official Regional Breastfeeding Liaison. In order to meet the request, the program filled the position. In order to maximize available positions within Public Health, the department is requesting that the position be moved to a program that will utilize it permanently. The funding for this position is restrictive to specific work that falls under the scope of a Senior Public Health Nutritionist. This position is needed to fully implement the role of the Regional Breastfeeding Liaison within the state funded WIC Program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, this position will not be properly allocated to the Women, Infants, and Children's (WIC) program and will negatively affect program activities.
