RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22218 to increase the hours of four (4) Registered Nurse (VWXG) positions: position #15514 from 32/40 to 40/40, position #15515 from 32/40 to 40/40, position #9944 from 32/40 to 40/40, and position #11780 from 24/40 to 40/40 at salary plan and grade L32-1880 ($8,554 - $10,683) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

If this action is approved, there is an annual cost of approximately $188,439 which includes pension costs of $45,507. The cost is entirely offset within the Department's budgeted County General Fund allocation.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the hours of four (4) positions, as per the Memorandum of Understanding with California Nurse Association. The position is Registered Nurse (VWXG) position #15514 from 32/40 to 40/40, position #15515 from 32/40 to 40/40, position #9444 from 32/40 to 40/40 and position #11780 from 24/40 to 40/40. The incumbents have been working the increased hours for the past six months to prevent mandatory overtime, and these hours are certified by the Department Manager as being operationally necessary to continue the mandated functions of the Department to ensure patient care at the Martinez Detention Facility.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Martinez Detention Facility will not have adequate staffing to meet the demand and volume of patient care needed for those we serve.
