RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21806 to increase the hours of one part-time Registered Nurse Experienced-Level (VWXD) position #9206 from 24/40 to 40/40 at salary level L3H-0400 ($7854 - $8753) , and increase the hours of one part-time Registered Nurse Advanced-Level (VWXE) position #15516 from 24/40 to 32/40 at salary level L32-1878 ($9343-$9576) in the Health Service Department (Represented).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of approximately $95,550, with pension costs of approximately $8,159 included. The entire cost will be offset by the County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the hours of permanent part-time Registered Nurse Experienced-Level (VWXD) position #9206 from 24/4 to 40/40 and permanent part-time Registered Nurse Advanced-Level (VWXE) position #15516 from 24/40 to 32/40 as provided by the memorandum of understanding between the County and California Nurses Association (CNA). The incumbents have been working the increased hours in the past six months and the Department has determined there is an ongoing need for these increased hours in order to maintain patient care services in the Martinez Detention Center.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, there will not be enough staff hours to meet the patient care need at the Martinez Detention Center.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
