RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22410 to add one Clerk Senior-Level (JWXC) position at salary plan and grade level 3RX-1033 ($3,406-$4,350) and cancel one vacant Health Services Planner Evaluator Level B-Project position #14251 (VCXD) at salary plan and grade level ZB2-1323 ($4,688-7,683) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this request has an annual cost savings of approximately $61,774 with pension costs of $15,230 already included. (Mental Health Services Act)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to cancel one vacant Health Services Planner/Evaluator-Level B-Project position (#14251) and add one Clerk-Senior Level position to better serve the current needs of the Behavioral Health Division. The new position will support the newly expanded Quality Improvement/Quality Assurance Unit. This unit oversees quality management which includes collecting and analyzing data to measure performance goals and actions identified by the Quality Improvement Committee and has expanded to a staff of 11 with no clerical support.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The primary duties of the new position is to initiate and answer correspondence independently, prepare clear and concise reports and use knowledge of office methods and equipment including filing, indexing and cross-referencing methods to support the staff of the unit.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Quality Improvement/Quality Assurance unit will not have adequate clerical staff to support the needs of the unit.
