RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22095 to add one (1) full-time Graphic Designer (5HWB) (represented) position at salary plan and grade ZM5-1190 ($3,873 - $4,708) in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, there is an annual cost of approximately $95,369, which includes estimated pension costs of $19,473. The cost will be offset with budgeted funds from the County's General Fund (33%) and Third Party Funding (67%) from several divisions within Health Services.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add one Graphic Designer position to its Community Education and Information (CEI) Unit within the Public Health Division. The CEI Unit is currently using a temporary agency employee to complete the necessary work. A full-time permanent Graphic Designer position is needed to provide ongoing generation of public information and related media activities for several divisions in the Health Services Department.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Health Services Department will not have adequate staffing to meet the demand of the increasing and ongoing need for the distribution of public information and other media related activities.
