RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21973 to increase the hours of a vacant Senior Public Health Nutritionist (V9TE) position #9473 from 32/40 to 40/40 at salary level TC5-1526 ($5,245-$6,375) and decrease hours of a vacant Public Health Nutritionist-Project (V9W1) position #15884 from 40/40 to 30/40 at salary level TC5-1430 ($4,769-5,797) in the Health Services Department. (Represented).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost savings of approximately $3,074 to Federal/State WIC funded programs.

BACKGROUND:

The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program is a federally funded health and nutrition program that helps pregnant and postpartum women, infants and children under 5 years old. Under this program, clients are encouraged to eat healthy foods and live a healthy and active life. Women, infants and children who qualify, are able to take advantage of various services such as breastfeeding support, nutrition and health education classes, checks to buy healthy foods, and referrals for health care and community services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Public Health WIC Program has two vacant positions and is requesting to change its respective hours as follows:
Increase Senior Public Health Nutritionist position #9473 hours from 32/40 to 40/40
Decrease Public Health Nutritionist Project position #15884 hours from 40/40 to 30/40
The Department is seeking this change at this time to be able to support future WIC program needs when the corresponding vacant positions will be filled through the normal recruitment process.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the department will not be prepared to fulfill program needs should it decide to fill the vacant positions.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
