RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21813 to increase the hours of the Executive Assistant to the Development Disabilities Council (XQSB) position #8467 at salary level ZB5-1654 ($5,724-$6,958) from 20/40 to 40/40, effective January 13 through June 30, 2016 in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $44,844 which includes $7,411 in pension costs. The cost will be funded by Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) grant funds.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Contra Costa Health Services has overall responsibility for protecting the public’s health in the event of major emergencies and disasters. It receives State and Federal grant funding to be used in developing comprehensive emergency response plans in coordination with Local, State and Federal agencies, as well as private health care providers and the Red Cross. The Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI), a Federal grant channeled through the State has funds to use for said purposes from January 1 through June 30, 2016.

The Health Emergency Unit in Public Health of the Health Services Department has a project specifically working with the vulnerable population to develop an emergency response plan. Taking into consideration the nature of the project and the funding time limitations, it was determined that the project components can be handled by the incumbent of the Executive Assistant to the Development Disabilities Council. This position (#8467) is appropriated at 20/40 hours. Increasing the hours from 20/40 to 40/40 from January 1 through June 30, 2016, will help in completing the necessary Federal grant requirements. The Executive Assistant to the Development Disabilities Council will assist with revising Medical Countermeasure Plans as needed. Additional plans will be incorporated to address the needs of seniors, the medically fragile, homeless, nursing home residents, and people with access and functional needs, and disabilities, among others through collaborations with other government agencies and community partners.

Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) revenues will offset the cost associated in temporarily increasing the position hours of the Executive Assistant to the Development Disabilities Council.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the emergency plan project components will not be completed and the appropriated funding will be left unused.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
