FISCAL IMPACT:

This request has an annual cost of approximately $17,066,897.21 with pension costs of $3,958,957 already included. These positions will be 100% funded by Federal and State emergency funding.

BACKGROUND:

As part of the COVID-19 response, the Health Services Department is requesting to establish the Public Health Nurse Program Manager-Project classification and add five (5) positions; and add sixty (60) Public Health Nurse-Project positions allocated to the Vaccine Branch to administer mass vaccinations. The department will fill positions as needed, but is also partnering with local pharmacies, health providers, fire agencies, and private health systems to increase vaccine administration efforts.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

There will not be sufficient staff to administer COVID-19 vaccines, which negatively impacts the health and safety of County residents.
