RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution #20892 to ADD one (1) full-time Therapist Aide (V5WA) (represented) position at salary level QB5 1179 ($3,433-$4,173) in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of $84,489.78, including an annual pension cost of $28,219.59. This action will be fully offset by the cancellation of a long term temporary position which has been funded by 50/50 County and State CCS (California Childrens Services) Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting the addition of this position in order to meet the staffing needs of the CCS (California Childrens Services) Medical Therapy Program. This position will be responsible for assisting professional therapy staff (Physical and Occupational Therapists) in administering a variety of treatments for handicapped pediatric clients of the CCS Program.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the California Childrens Services Program will not be able to effectively provide critical therapy services to the handicapped children of Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

If this request is not approved, it would lead to ineffective staffing levels which in turn will lead to handicapped children in Contra Costa County not receiving critical physical and occupational therapy services.
