RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22337 to reassign eleven positions and incumbents (represented) from Department 0501 (Administrative Services Bureau) Org 5140 and one position and incumbent from Department 0501 Org 5101, to Department 0503 (Aging and Adult Services Bureau) Org 5315, and cancel one vacant Senior Social Services Information Systems Analyst, as specified in Attachment A, in the Whole Person Care program in the Employment and Human Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will have a salary and benefit cost shift from the Administrative Services Bureau (0501) to the Aging and Adult Services Bureau (0503). The appropriations are established in the FY 2018/19 budget. Actual costs for these positions have been journaled to the correct dept/org. This action will eliminate the need for future correction journals.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

Cancelling the vacant Sr. Social Services Information Systems Analyst position in the Whole Person Care Pilot Program (WPC), will decrease costs by $149,906. A November 13, 2018 Board item (c. 24), added a Social Service Program Assistant to the Aging and Adult WPC program, at a cost of $93,393. The requested cancellation complements the aforementioned Board item, resulting in a net cost decrease.

These positions are funded by the Health Services Department's Community Connect - Whole Person Care Grant from the California Department of Health Care Services. There is no net cost to the County. (100% State)

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) WPC program, currently includes seven Social Worker I positions, two Social Worker III positions, one Social Work Supervisor II position, one Division Manager position, three Social Service Employment Placement Counselor positions, three Social Service Program Assistant positions, and one Senior Social Service Information Systems Analyst position. The vacant Senior SS Info Systems Analyst is to be cancelled because it is no longer programmatically needed. All other positions need to reside in the Aging and Adult Services Bureau, which will require moving 12 positions from the Administration Services Bureau.

WPC positions were originally added in Administration Services (Department 0501 Org 5140) in FY 17/18; however, in FY 18/19 these positions were budgeted in Adult and Aging Services (Dept. 0503 Org 5397). Due to administrative oversight, the actual positions were not moved to Adult and Aging Services when a separate organization code (5315) was established on 7/1/18 to house costs for Whole Person Care. Costs for these positions have been journaled to the new organization. This action completes the accounting move of these positions to the new Org 5315 so that future journals are not necessary.

On January 16, 2019, the County met and conferred with Local 512 and the proposed actions, including the cancellation, were agreed upon.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department's budget will not align with its position management data, and the County will not be able to maximize efficiency in administering the WPC program.
