RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22019 to increase the hours of Registered Nurse – Experienced Level (VWXD) position #15227 from 20/40 to 40/40 at salary level L3H-0400 ($8,079 - $8,972) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, there is an annual cost of approximately $117,571, which includes estimated pension costs of $19,111. The cost will be entirely offset by Third Party revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the hours of Registered Nurse – Experienced Level position #15227 from 20/40 to 40/40. This position resides in the Behavioral Health Division’s Mental Health Services Act Innovative Program Coaching to Wellness, which is experiencing an increase in request for services from their adult mental health client population. In addition historically the department has found it difficult to fill this assignment’s part time position and full time positions provide increased consistency with working with the consumers of the Coaching to Wellness population. The Department has determined a full time Registered Nurse – Experienced Level is more appropriate than a part time Registered Nurse – Experienced Level.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Behavioral Health Division’s MHSA Innovation Project Coaching to Wellness of the Health Services Department will not have adequate staffing to meet the demand and volume of client care for those we serve.
